Unraveling the Mechanisms of Ultrasound-Induced Mechanical Degradation of Microgels: Effects of Mechanoresponsive Crosslinks, Softness, and Core-Shell Architecture
Alexander V. Petrunin, Susanne Braun, Felix J. Byn +6
Ultrasound-induced degradation of soft polymeric colloids, like microgels, as well as a controlled drug release enabled by mechanoresponsive bonds, has recently attracted considera…
Softness Matters: Effects of Compression on the Behavior of Adsorbed Microgels at Interfaces
Yuri Gerelli, Fabrizio Camerin, Steffen Bochenek +5
Deformable colloids and macromolecules adsorb at interfaces, as they decrease the interfacial energy between the two media. The deformability, or softness, of these particles plays…
Interfacial fluid rheology of soft particles
Maximilian M. Schmidt, José Ruiz-Franco, Steffen Bochenek +3
In situ interfacial rheology and numerical simulations are used to investigate microgel monolayers in a wide range of packing fractions, . The heterogeneous particle compre…
Fluid-solid transitions in photonic crystals of soft, thermoresponsive microgels
Marco Hildebrandt, Duong Pham Thuy, Julian Kippenberger +4
Microgels are often discussed as well-suited model system for soft colloids. In contrast to rigid spheres, the microgel volume and, coupled to this, the volume fraction in dispersi…
Harnessing the polymer-particle duality of ultra-soft nanogels to stabilise smart emulsions
Alexander V. Petrunin, Steffen Bochenek, Walter Richtering +1
Micro- and nanogels are widely used to stabilise emulsions and simultaneously implement their responsiveness to the external stimuli. One of the factors that improves the emulsion…
In-situ study of the impact of temperature and architecture on the interfacial structure of microgels
Steffen Bochenek, Fabrizio Camerin, Emanuela Zaccarelli +4
The structural characterization of microgels at interfaces is fundamental to understand both their 2D phase behavior and their role as stabilizers that enable emulsions to be broke…
Do cavities matter? Hollow microgels resist crystallization
Andrea Scotti, Alan. R. Denton, Monia Brugnoni +2
Solutions of microgels have been widely used as model systems to gain insight into atomic condensed matter and complex fluids. We explore the thermodynamic phase behavior of hollow…
Temperature-sensitive Soft Microgels at Interfaces: Air-Water versus Oil-Water
Steffen Bochenek, Andrea Scotti, Walter Richtering
The formation of smart emulsions or foams whose stability can be controlled on-demand by switching external parameters is of great interest for basic research and applications. An…
