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…
Interfacial assembly of anisotropic core-shell and hollow microgels
Anne C. Nickel, Andrey A. Rudov, Igor I. Potemkin +2
Microgels, cross-linked polymers with submicrometer size, are ideal soft model systems. While spherical microgels have been studied extensively, anisotropic microgels have been har…
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…
Do cavities matter? Hollow microgels resist crystallization
Andrea Scotti, Alan. R. Denton, Monia Brugnoni +2
Solutions of microgels have been widely used as model systems to gain insight into atomic condensed matter and complex fluids. We explore the thermodynamic phase behavior of hollow…
