Apparatus for simultaneous DLS-SANS investigations of dynamics and structure in soft matter
Valentina Nigro, Roberta Angelini, Stephen King +9
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) are two key tools with which to probe the dynamic and static structure factor, respectively, in soft matter…
Dynamic Light Scattering Study of Temperature and pH Sensitive Colloidal Microgels
Valentina Nigro, Roberta Angelini, Monica Bertoldo +3
Microgel particles composed of Interpenetrated Polymer Networks (IPN) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) dispersed in water have been investigate…
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…
Molecular mechanisms driving the microgels behaviour: a Raman spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering study
Valentina Nigro, Francesca Ripanti, Roberta Angelini +5
Responsive microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) exhibit peculiar behaviours due to the competition between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions of the co…
Relaxation dynamics, Softness and Fragility of Microgels with Interpenetrated Polymer Networks
Valentina Nigro, Barbara Ruzicka, Beatrice Ruta +4
Microgels are elastic and deformable particles with a hybrid nature between that of polymers and colloids and unconventional behaviours with respect to hard colloids. We investigat…
