Atomic scale investigation of the volume phase transition in concentrated PNIPAM microgels
M. Zanatta, L. Tavagnacco, E. Buratti +5
Combining elastic incoherent neutron scattering and differential scanning calorimetry, we investigate the occurrence of the volume phase transition (VPT) in very concentrated PNIPA…
Protein-like dynamical transition of hydrated polymer chains
L. Tavagnacco, M. Zanatta, E. Buratti +8
Combining elastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments at different resolutions with molecular dynamics simulations, we report the observation of a protein-like dynamical tran…
Molecular mechanisms driving the microgels behaviour: a Raman spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering study
Valentina Nigro, Francesca Ripanti, Roberta Angelini +5
Responsive microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibit peculiar behaviours due to the competition between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions of the co…
Evidence of a low-temperature dynamical transition in concentrated microgels
Marco Zanatta, Letizia Tavagnacco, Elena Buratti +5
A low-temperature dynamical transition has been reported in several proteins. We provide the first observation of a `protein-like' dynamical transition in nonbiological aqueous env…
