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…
Glass and Jamming Rheology in Soft Particles Made of PNIPAM and Polyacrylic Acid
Silvia Franco, Elena Buratti, Valentina Nigro +3
The phase behaviour of soft colloids has attracted great attention due to the large variety of new phenomenologies emerging from their ability to pack at very high volume fractions…
Volume fraction determination of microgel composed of interpenetrating polymer networks of PNIPAM and polyacrylic acid
Silvia Franco, Elena Buratti, Barbara Ruzicka +5
Interpenetrated polymer network microgels, composed of crosslinked networks of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and polyacrylic acid (PAAc), have been investigated through rheological m…
