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…

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…
