Structure and Dynamics of Ultra‐Low‐Crosslinked Microgels

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the relationship between microgel internal architecture, zero‐shear viscosity, structural relaxation time, and the ability of ultra‐soft colloidal suspensions to remain viscous fluids under overcrowded conditions. This interplay between microgel compressibility and zero‐shear viscosity is further highlighted by a colloid‐polymer ...
