Anisotropic Microgels show their Soft Side
Anne C. Nickel, Timon Kratzenberg, Steffen Bochenek +6
Anisotropic, submicrometer sized particles are versatile systems providing interesting features in creating ordering in 2-dimensional systems. Combining hard ellipsoids with a soft…
Interactions Between a Responsive Microgel Monolayer and a Rigid Colloid: From Soft to Hard Interfaces
Steffen Bochenek, Cathy E. McNamee, Michael Kappl +2
Responsive poly-N-isopropylacrylamide-based microgels are commonly used as model colloids with soft repulsive interactions. It has been shown that the microgel-microgel interaction…
Temperature-sensitive Soft Microgels at Interfaces: Air-Water versus Oil-Water
Steffen Bochenek, Andrea Scotti, Walter Richtering
The formation of smart emulsions or foams whose stability can be controlled on-demand by switching external parameters is of great interest for basic research and applications. An…
Influence of charges on the behavior of polyelectrolyte microgels confined to oil-water interfaces
Maximilian M. Schmidt, Steffen Bochenek, Alexey A. Gavrilov +2
The role of electrostatics on the interfacial properties of polyelectrolyte microgels has been discussed controversially in the literature. It is not yet clear if, or how, Coulomb…
