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.

Impact of single-particle compressibility on the fluid-solid phase transition for ionic microgel suspensions

, 2014
We study ionic microgel suspensions composed of swollen particles for various single-particle stiffnesses. We measure the osmotic pressure $\pi$ of these suspensions and show that it is dominated by the contribution of free ions in solution.
