Substrate contact angle governs microgel shape, stiffness and deposition pattern
M. Friederike Schulte, Sebastian S. Meyer, Timon Kratzenberg +7
Soft microgels are widely used as deformable building blocks for two-dimensional assemblies, yet solid substrates are often treated as passive supports after interfacial deposition…
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…
Molecular-Induced Chirality Transfer to Plasmonic Lattice Modes
Eric S. A. Goerlitzer, Mario Zapata-Herrera, Ekaterina Ponomareva +5
Molecular chirality plays fundamental roles in biology. The chiral response of a molecule occurs at a specific spectral position, determined by its molecular structure. This finger…
Compression of colloidal monolayers at liquid interfaces: in situ vs. ex situ investigation
Keumkyung Kuk, Vahan Abgarjan, Lukas Gregel +4
The assembly of colloidal particles at liquid/liquid or air/liquid interfaces is a versatile procedure to create microstructured monolayers and study their behavior under compressi…
SAXS Investigation of Core-Shell Microgels with High Scattering Contrast Cores: Access to Structure Factor and Volume Fraction
Marco Hildebrandt, Sergey Lazarev, Javier Pérez +3
To explore dense packings of soft colloids, scattering experiments are ideal to access the structure factor. However, for soft microgels determination of the structure factor is di…
Micron-sized silica-PNIPAM core-shell microgels with tunable shell-to-core ratio
Keumkyung Kuk, Lukas Gregel, Vahan Abgarjan +3
Micron-sized hard core-soft shell hybrid microgels are promising model systems for studies of soft matter as they enable in-situ optical investigations and their structures/morphol…
In-situ Characterization of Crystallization and Melting of Soft, Thermoresponsive Microgels by Small-Angle X-ray Scattering
Dmitry Lapkin, Nastasia Mukharamova, Dameli Assalauova +8
Depending on the volume fraction and interparticle interactions, colloidal suspensions can form different phases, ranging from fluids, crystals, and glasses to gels. For soft micro…
FRET nanoscopy enables seamless imaging of molecular assemblies with sub-nanometer resolution
Jan-Hendrik Budde, Nicolaas van der Voort, Suren Felekyan +11
By circumventing the optical diffraction limit, super-resolved fluorescence microscopies enable the study of larger cellular structures and molecular assemblies. However, fluoresce…
Dynamics and wetting behavior of soft particles at a fluid-fluid interface
Siddarth A. Vasudevan, Astrid Rauh, Martin Kröger +2
We investigate the conformation, position, and dynamics of core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) composed of a silica core encapsulated in a cross-linked poly-N-isopropylacrylamide shel…
Surface Aggregate Structure of Nonionic Surfactants on Silica Nanoparticles
Dersy Lugo, Julian Oberdisse, Matthias Karg +2
The self-assembly of two nonionic surfactants, pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) and n-dodecyl-ß-maltoside (ß-C12G2), in the presence of a purpose-synthesized silica s…
