Micromechanics of temperature sensitive microgels: Dip in poisson ratio near the LCST

open access: yes, 2013
Microgels of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAM) exhibit a remarkable sensitivity to environmental conditions, most strikingly a pronounced deswelling that occurs close to the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the polymer at ˜32 °C.

Infrared Laser Heating Reveals a Reversible Phase Transition of Phosphofructokinase 1 in Mammalian Cells

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 40, 27 October 2026.
In this study, we present a novel method to investigate the phase behavior of biomolecular condensates in living cells. The method complements FRAP experiments, expanding the existing toolbox for characterization of condensates within living cells. ABSTRACT Metabolic enzymes can operate in concerted networks, so‐called metabolons.

Process Optimization of Solution Blow Spinning for Poly (N‐Isopropylacrylamide) Fibers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
Solution blow spinning has emerged as a safe and scalable technique for fabricating thermoresponsive PNIPAM fibers. The influence of key parameters on jet stability and fiber uniformity is determined through both rheological analysis and statistical process optimization. A Box–Behnken design reveals an optimized window for producing PNIPAM fibers below

Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of n‐Alkane Diluted Polyethylene Melts: Sorption, Desorption, and Oscillatory Rheometry

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 39, October 15, 2026.
This study systematically maps polyolefin dilution dynamics using a homologous series of n‐alkanes. Integrating gravimetric sorption, subsequent controlled desorption, and oscillatory rheometry establishes a precise framework to analyze reduction in viscosity at least for polymer diluent mixtures with polymer concentration > 35% and diluent ...
