Thermoresponsive copolymer microgels
Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 2013Colloidal aqueous microgels have attracted notable attention due to their possible applications in both polymer chemistry and the (bio)material sector. Due to their soft internal network structure and their response to different external stimuli, they are suitable as carrier systems for different kinds of molecules (e.g.

Microgel‐Stabilized Metal Nanoclusters: Size Control by Microgel Nanomorphology
Advanced Materials, 2003Soluble crosslinked macromolecules (microgels) used as stabilizers of catalytically active metal nanoclusters allow control of the nanocluster size by simply changing the crosslinking degree of the microgel. Microgel‐stabilized metal nanoclusters are easily prepared and stored in the solid state, and those of Pd (see Figure) exhibit high catalytic ...

Impact of Microgel Morphology on Functionalized Microgel−Drug Interactions
Langmuir, 2008The interactions of a range of water-soluble drugs of different charges and hydrophobicities with carboxylic acid-functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels containing different functional group distributions are investigated to determine the impact of drug properties and microgel morphologies on drug uptake and release.

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2012
The ocean plays a critical role in global carbon cycling: it handles half of the global primary production, yielding the world's largest stock of reduced organic carbon (ROC) that supports one of the world's largest biomasses. However, the mechanisms whereby ROC becomes mineralized remain unresolved.

Macromolecular bioscience, 2015
Peptides and proteins represent attractive building blocks for the development of new functional materials due to the biocompatibility and biodegradability of many naturally abundant proteins. In nature, sophisticated material functionality is commonly achieved through spatial control of protein localisation and structure on both the nano and micro ...

Microfiltration of deformable microgels
Soft Matter, 2016Understanding the separation, concentration and purification processes of soft nanoparticles is essential for numerous applications in water filtration, bioprocessing and blood separation. Here we report unique translocation and rejection features of sub-micron sized microgels during frontal filtration using membranes having micron-sized porosity ...

Thermoresponsive microgel-based materials
Chemical Society Reviews, 2009With the continued development of thermoresponsive colloidal hydrogel particles, a number of groups have begun to exploit their properties to create dynamic materials self-assembled from those components. The fundamental details of how those building blocks are assembled, the component functionality, and the geometry or length-scales present in the ...

Flower type microgels: 1. Synthesis of the microgels
Polymer, 1997Poly(2-vinyl pyridine-b-styrene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) BAB type block copolymers were synthesized by anionic living polymerization. The micelle formation of these BAB type triblock copolymers was carried out in toluene and toluene/cyclohexane mixture, and estimated with dynamic light scattering for the polymer solutions.
