Internal structure and swelling behaviour of in silico microgel particles [PDF]
, 2017 Microgels are soft colloids that, in virtue of their polymeric nature, can react to external stimuli such as temperature or pH by changing their size. The resulting swelling/deswelling transition can be exploited in fundamental research as well as for ...

Microgels Adsorbed at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: A Joint Numerical and Experimental Study [PDF]
, 2019 Soft particles display highly versatile properties with respect to hard colloids, even more so at fluid-fluid interfaces. In particular, microgels, consisting of a cross-linked polymer network, are able to deform and flatten upon adsorption at the ...

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.

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)

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.
