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…
Relaxation dynamics, Softness and Fragility of Microgels with Interpenetrated Polymer Networks
Valentina Nigro, Barbara Ruzicka, Beatrice Ruta +4
Microgels are elastic and deformable particles with a hybrid nature between that of polymers and colloids and unconventional behaviours with respect to hard colloids. We investigat…
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…
