Characterization of the prepared beads. (A) Fourier transfer infrared spectra of the prepared beads. The dashed lines (i) and (ii) indicate the peak attributed to C=O stretching vibrations and N–H bending vibrations, respectively. (B) SEM images of the prepared beads. (1) aminopropyl silica beads, (2) V-501 immobilized silica beads, (3) PNIPAAm modified silica beads prepared via polymerization for 5 h, and (4) PNIPAAm modified silica beads prepared via polymerization for 18 h. Scale bars denote 5 μm.
