Softness plays a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of colloidal systems,
from synthetic nanogels to biological macromolecules, from viruses to star polymers …

Due to their controlled size, sensitivity to external stimuli, and ease-of-use, microgel colloids
are unique building blocks for soft materials made by crosslinking polymers on the …

Conspectus The confinement of colloidal particles at liquid interfaces offers many
opportunities for materials design. Adsorption is driven by a reduction of the total free energy …

The structural characterization of microgels at interfaces is fundamental to understand both
their 2D phase behavior and their role as stabilizers that enable emulsions to be broken on …

Colloidal clusters and gels are ubiquitous in science and technology. Particle softness has a
strong effect on interparticle interactions; however, our understanding of the role of this factor …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the static and dynamic properties of
spherical nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a disordered and polydisperse polymer …

The reconfiguration of individual soft and deformable particles upon adsorption at a fluid
interface underpins many aspects of their dynamics and interactions, ultimately regulating …

Super-resolution microscopy has become a powerful tool to investigate the internal structure
of complex colloidal and polymeric systems, such as microgels, at the nanometer scale. An …

Although microgels have been widely used as model systems for soft colloids, their
properties are still far from being completely understood. This stems from their …

Monolayers of soft colloidal particles confined at fluid interfaces are at the core of a broad
range of technological processes, from the stabilization of responsive foams and emulsions …
