We designed and prepared thermal-responsive poly-vinylamine-containing micro-gel particles (GPs) with an optimized volume-phase transition temperature (VPTT) by modifying the concentrations of the monomer, crosslinker and surfactant. The amine concentration of the GPs was also maximized. The GPs are capable of reversibly capturing and releasing CO2 in response to a small temperature change.
