Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this work, an alternating copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) [poly(NIPAM-alt-HEMA)] was synthesized via ATRP-based cyclopolymerization of a divinyl monomer carrying a transformable linker and aminolysis transformation of the resulting cyclopolymer with isopropylamine. The selective propagation in the cyclopolymerization leading to the alternating sequence was supported by the reactivity ratios of the two model monomers cut out from the divinyl monomer. The quantitative transformation and the alternating sequence were confirmed by H NMR, FT-IR, and MALDI-TOF-MS. The thus-obtained poly(NIPAM-alt-HEMA) underwent an LCST-type temperature-induced phase transition in water, and the thermoresponsive behavior was different from that of the corresponding statistical copolymers [poly(NIPAM-sta-HEMA)] as well as the homopolymer of NIPAM. The thermoresponsiveness specific to the alternating sequence is likely derived from the structural character that can affect the dehydration behavior, such as no existence of the consecutive NIPAM sequence and the adjacent circumstance of NIPAM units and hydroxy pendants of HEMA.
