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…
Resolving Light-Induced Structural Rearrangements in Responsive Microgels
Fabrizio Camerin, Megha Emerse, Gianpaolo Gallo +6
Optically-responsive microgels offer a versatile platform for designing adaptive soft materials with coupled light and thermal responsiveness. Control over the crosslinking degree…
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…
Star-like thermoresponsive microgels: a new class of soft nanocolloids
Elisa Ballin, Francesco Brasili, Tommaso Papetti +5
We provide experimental and numerical evidence of a new class of soft nanocolloids: star-like microgels with thermoresponsive character. This is achieved by using the standard prec…
Effect of particle stiffness and surface properties on the nonlinear viscoelasticity of dense microgel suspensions
Jacopo Vialetto, Shivaprakash N. Ramakrishna, Lucio Isa +1
Particle surface chemistry and internal softness are two fundamental parameters in governing the mechanical properties of dense colloidal suspensions, dictating structure and flow,…
Tuning electrostatic interactions of colloidal particles at oil-water interfaces with organic salts
Carolina van Baalen, Jacopo Vialetto, Lucio Isa
Monolayers of colloidal particles at oil-water interfaces readily crystalize owing to electrostatic repulsion, which is often mediated through the oil. However, little attempts exi…
The effect of curvature on the diffusion of colloidal bananas
Justin-Aurel Ulbrich, Carla Fernandez-Rico, Brian Rost +4
Anisotropic colloidal particles exhibit complex dynamics which play a crucial role in their functionality, transport and phase behaviour. In this work, we investigate the two-dimen…
In-situ imaging of the three-dimensional shape of soft responsive particles at fluid interfaces by atomic force microscopy
Jacopo Vialetto, Shivaprakash N. Ramakrishna, Lucio Isa
The reconfiguration of soft, deformable particles upon adsorption at the interface between two fluids underpins many aspects of their dynamics and interactions, ultimately controll…
Influence of the interfacial tension on the microstructural and mechanical properties of microgels at fluid interfaces
Jacopo Vialetto, Natalie Nussbaum, Jotam Bergfreund +2
Microgels are soft colloidal particles constituted by cross-linked polymer networks with a high potential for applications. In particular, after adsorption at a fluid interface, in…
The effect of internal architecture on the assembly of soft particles at fluid interfaces
Jacopo Vialetto, Fabrizio Camerin, Fabio Grillo +3
Monolayers of soft colloidal particles confined at fluid interfaces have been attracting increasing interest for fundamental studies and applications alike. However, establishing t…
