Compression and reswelling of microgel particles after an osmotic shock
Jelle F. Sleeboom, Panayiotis Voudouris, Melle T. J. J. M. Punter +4
We use dedicated microfluidic devices to expose soft hydrogel particles to a rapid change in the externally applied osmotic pressure and observe a non-monotonic response: After an…

Mechanics from Calorimetry: A New Probe of Elasticity for Responsive Hydrogels
Frank J. Aangenendt, Johan Mattsson, Wouter G. Ellenbroek +1
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels based on polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) undergo a volume phase transition in response to changes in temperature. During this…

Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy in a Standard Dynamic Light Scattering Setup
Zahra Fahimi, Frank Aangenendt, Panayiotis Voudouris +2
Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) treats the transport of photons through turbid samples as a diffusion process, thereby making it possible to extract the dynamics of scatterers fr…
