Equilibrium properties of charged microgels: a Poisson-Boltzmann-Flory approach [PDF]
, 2014 The equilibrium properties of ionic microgels are investigated using a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann and Flory theories. Swelling behavior, density profiles, and effective charges are all calculated in a self-consistent way.

Rheological properties of aging thermosensitive suspensions [PDF]
, 2007 Aging observed in soft glassy materials inherently affects the rheological properties of these systems and has been described by the soft glassy rheology (SGR) model [S. M. Fielding et al., J. Rheol. 44, 323 (2000)]. In this paper, we report the measured

Overcharging and reentrant condensation of thermoresponsive ionic microgels [PDF]
, 2018 We investigated the complexation of thermoresponsive anionic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM) microgels and cationic $\epsilon$-polylysine ($\epsilon$-PLL) chains. By combining electrophoresis, light scattering, transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

Ocean warming-acidification synergism undermines dissolved organic matter assembly. [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding the influence of synergisms on natural processes is a critical step toward determining the full-extent of anthropogenic stressors. As carbon emissions continue unabated, two major stressors--warming and acidification--threaten marine ...

Characterization of different substituted carboxymethyl starch microgels and their interactions with lysozyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A carboxymethyl starch (CMS) microgel system was prepared for the control of uptaking and releasing proteins (lysozyme). The physicochemical properties of microgels in various degrees of substitution (DS) were determined by thermal gravimetric analysis ...

Evidence of a low-temperature dynamical transition in concentrated microgels [PDF]
, 2018 A low-temperature dynamical transition has been reported in several proteins. We provide the first observation of a `protein-like' dynamical transition in nonbiological aqueous environments.

Thermodynamics of ionic microgels [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 We present a theory of dilute aqueous suspensions of microgel particles. It is found that as the number of charged monomers in the polymer network composing mesoscopic gel increases, the particles undergo a swelling transition. Depending on the hydrophobicity of the polymer, this transition can be either continuous or discontinuous.
