Effects of synthesis-solvent polarity on the physicochemical and rheological properties of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) hydrogels

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgels were synthesized via free radical polymerization using four synthesis-solvents with varying polarity index: dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, and cyclohexane. Characterization by FTIR,

Incorporation of fluorescent microgels inside calcite single crystals

open access: yesGiant, 2020
Single crystals have been shown to incorporate guest materials (e.g., gel networks and functional particles) and the incorporated materials endow the crystal hosts with non-intrinsic properties.

Oligo(ethylene glycol)-sidechain microgels prepared in absence of cross-linking agent: Polymerization, characterization and variation of particle deformability. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Impacts of Size and Deformability of β-Lactoglobulin Microgels on the Colloidal Stability and Volatile Flavor Release of Microgel-Stabilized Emulsions

open access: yesGels, 2018
Emulsions can be prepared from protein microgel particles as an alternative to traditional emulsifiers. Prior experiments have indicated that smaller and more deformable microgels would decrease both the physical destabilization of emulsions and the ...
