Heterogeneous collapse in thermoresponsive copolymer microgels varying molar composition
Jacopo Vialetto, Francesco Brasili, Letizia Tavagnacco +5
Understanding the internal architecture of copolymer microgels is crucial for establishing how nanoscale polymer organization controls their stimuli-responsive behavior. Here we fo…
Beyond uniform screening: electrostatic heterogeneity dictates solution structure of complex macromolecules
Fabrizio Camerin, Marco Polimeni, Letizia Tavagnacco +7
The complexity of biomolecular interactions necessitates advanced methodologies to accurately capture their behavior in solution. In this work, we focus on monoclonal antibodies an…
Thermoresponsive copolymer microgels synthesized via single-step precipitation polymerization: random or block structure?
Letizia Tavagnacco, Elena Buratti, Jacopo Vialetto +9
The inner structure of polymeric particles critically influences their phase behavior and functionality, governing their mechanical properties and their physical and chemical inter…
Gellan-Based Hydrogels and Microgels for culturage heritage: a rheological perspective
Silvia Franco, Leonardo Severini, Elena Buratti +7
Gellan gum has gained significant attention due to its versatility in multiple applications in the form of hydrogels and microgels. A thorough understanding of the rheological beha…
Molecular origin of the two-step mechanism of gellan aggregation
Letizia Tavagnacco, Ester Chiessi, Leonardo Severini +10
Among hydrocolloids, gellan is one of the most used anionic polysaccharides, because of its capability of forming mechanically stable gels at relatively low concentrations. Despite…
The role of polymer structure on water confinement in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) dispersions
E. Buratti, L. Tavagnacco, M. Zanatta +8
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a synthetic polymer that is widely studied for its thermoresponsive character. However, recent works also reported evidence of a low tempera…
