Nature Communications, 2014 Three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel structures are finding use in fundamental studies of self-assembly, rheology, and 3D cell culture. Most techniques for 3D hydrogel formation are 'single pot', in which gels are not addressable after formation. For many applications, it would be useful to be able to form arrays of gels bearing mixtures of constituents and/

Oligo(ethylene glycol)-sidechain microgels prepared in absence of cross-linking agent: Polymerization, characterization and variation of particle deformability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We present a systematic study of self-cross-linked microgels formed by precipitation polymerization of oligo ethylene glycol methacrylates. The cross-linking density of these microgels and, thus, the network flexibility can be easily tuned through the ...

Droplet Microfluidics-Assisted Fabrication of Magnetite Nanoparticle Hybrid Microgels for Facile Protein Immobilization. [PDF]
ChembiochemWe present a versatile approach to uniform hybrid microgels containing magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). Methylcellulose stabilizes MNPs in pre‐hydrogel suspensions, enabling microfluidic processing. Functionalization with biotin yields an experimental platform for enzyme immobilization, shown by immobilizing streptavidin‐horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and

Tailoring pH-responsive acrylic acid microgels with hydrophobic crosslinks for drug release [PDF]
, 2015 Amphiphilic microgels based on the hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA) and hydrophobic crosslinks of different compositions were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device. The microgels were formed by polymerising hydrophobic droplets.
