A designed amphiphilic conetwork (APCN) having thermoresponsive polymer chains is attractive for the development of novel stimuli-responsive materials with a controlled responsive behavior. We have recently proposed a novel APCN having crosslinked domain (CD) structures prepared by the post-polymeri...
