Rational design of thermoresponsive polymers allows facile control over LCST/UCST and
nano-object shapes. Despite tremendous progress, it remains a challenge to monitor chain …

Oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsions (ME) typically feature a low viscosity and exhibit ordinary
viscosity reduction as a function of temperature. However, for certain applications, avoiding …

Hypothesis. Particle surface chemistry and internal softness are two fundamental
parameters in governing the mechanical properties of dense colloidal suspensions, dictating …

The complexation/flocculation induced by cationic polyelectrolytes (cPE) is regarded as an
