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…
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…
Apparatus for simultaneous DLS-SANS investigations of dynamics and structure in soft matter
Valentina Nigro, Roberta Angelini, Stephen King +9
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) are two key tools with which to probe the dynamic and static structure factor, respectively, in soft matter…
Toward a unified description of the electrostatic assembly of microgels and nanoparticles
Francesco Brasili, Giovanni Del Monte, Angela Capocefalo +6
The combination of soft responsive particles, such as microgels, with nanoparticles (NPs) yields highly versatile complexes of great potential for applications, from ad-hoc plasmon…
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…
