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…
Assembling patchy plasmonic nanoparticles with aggregation-dependent antibacterial activity
Francesco Brasili, Angela Capocefalo, Damiano Palmieri +5
We realise an antibacterial nanomaterial based on the self-limited assembly of patchy plasmonic colloids, obtained by adsorption of lysozyme to gold nanoparticles. The possibility…
Molecular Description of the Coil-to-Globule Transition of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in Water/Ethanol Mixture at Low Alcohol Concentration
Letizia Tavagnacco, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Ester Chiessi
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, is a widely studied polymer, which serves as a key constituent of nanostructured soft materials with responsive properties. Upon increasing tem…
Water-polymer coupling induces a dynamical transition in microgels
Letizia Tavagnacco, Ester Chiessi, Marco Zanatta +2
The long debated protein dynamical transition was recently found also in non-biological macromolecules, such as poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) microgels. Here, by using atomis…
