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 ...

Stimuli-Responsive Microgels and Microgel-Based Systems: Advances in the Exploitation of Microgel Colloidal Properties and Their Interfacial Activity [PDF]
Polymers, 2018 In this paper, recent developments in the chemical design of functional microgels are summarized. A wide range of available synthetic methods allows the incorporation of various reactive groups, charges, or biological markers inside the microgel network, thus controlling the deformation and swelling degree of the resulting smart microgels.

A Light‐Driven Microgel Rotor [PDF]
Small, 2019 AbstractThe current understanding of motility through body shape deformation of micro‐organisms and the knowledge of fluid flows at the microscale provides ample examples for mimicry and design of soft microrobots. In this work, a 2D spiral is presented that is capable of rotating by non‐reciprocal curling deformations.
