Hypothesis The peculiar swelling behaviour of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) 4-
based responsive microgels provides the possibility to tune both softness and volume …

Stimuli-responsive microgels have attracted much interest for their use as vehicles for drug
delivery or as the building blocks of adaptive materials. Ionic microgel particles, including …

A new kind of near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive polymer nanogel is demonstrated. The
micellar aggregates of an ABA-type triblock copolymer, whose core is a thermosensitive …

Colloidal suspensions made of smart core–shell structures are of current interest in many
fields. Their properties come from the possibility of varying the core and shell materials for …

Poly (N-vinylcaprolactam)(PVCL) is a new temperature-responsive type of polymer microgel
with improved biocompatibility as compared to more commonly used poly (N …

We explore the electrostatic properties of poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide microgels in dilute,
quasi-de-ionized dispersions and show that the apparent net charge of these …

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (p-NIPAM)
diminishes when a small volume of acetone is added to the aqueous polymer solution, and …

A new method to obtain the density and temperature of the Lennard–Jones fluids at
equilibrium from the height and the displacement of the first peak of the radial distribution …

In this work, isotactic Poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide)—PNIPAM—in neat water and in
electrolyte solutions is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. This is done for …

Common neutral polymer microgels exhibit an inhomogeneous density profile with a
gradual decay that is commonly described using the fuzzy sphere model. The model is …
