Soft ULC Microgels at the Interface Interact and Flow as Hertzian-Like Colloids
José Ruiz-Franco, Tom Höfken, Maximilian M. Schmidt +3
Soft pair potentials predict a reentrant liquid phase for high concentrations, a behavior not observed experimentally. Here, very soft microgels confined at an oil-water interface…
Softness Matters: Effects of Compression on the Behavior of Adsorbed Microgels at Interfaces
Yuri Gerelli, Fabrizio Camerin, Steffen Bochenek +5
Deformable colloids and macromolecules adsorb at interfaces, as they decrease the interfacial energy between the two media. The deformability, or softness, of these particles plays…
Interfacial fluid rheology of soft particles
Maximilian M. Schmidt, José Ruiz-Franco, Steffen Bochenek +3
In situ interfacial rheology and numerical simulations are used to investigate microgel monolayers in a wide range of packing fractions, . The heterogeneous particle compre…
Harnessing the polymer-particle duality of ultra-soft nanogels to stabilise smart emulsions
Alexander V. Petrunin, Steffen Bochenek, Walter Richtering +1
Micro- and nanogels are widely used to stabilise emulsions and simultaneously implement their responsiveness to the external stimuli. One of the factors that improves the emulsion…
In-situ study of the impact of temperature and architecture on the interfacial structure of microgels
Steffen Bochenek, Fabrizio Camerin, Emanuela Zaccarelli +4
The structural characterization of microgels at interfaces is fundamental to understand both their 2D phase behavior and their role as stabilizers that enable emulsions to be broke…
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…
