▪ Abstract This review describes the most recent progress in the use of polymer
multiresponsive microgels as central components of advanced, functional colloidal …

This chapter reviews recent work on the synthesis of aqueous microgel particles by
precipitation polymerization. Precipitation polymerization allows flexible control over …

The structure of temperature-sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels in dilute
suspension was investigated by means of small-angle neutron scattering. A direct modeling …

The volume phase transition of colloidal microgels made of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)
is well-studied and it is known that the transition temperature can be influenced by …

The swelling of thermoresponsive microgels is widely modelled through Flory–Rehner
theory, which combines Flory–Huggins solution thermodynamics with the affine network …

The first book to tackle the application of smart polymers in bioseparation and
bioprocessing, Smart Polymers: Applications in Biotechnology and Biomedicine broke new …

Monodisperse microgel latex with homogeneous cross-link density distribution within the
particles was prepared by feeding the monomer and cross-linker into the reaction mixture in …

In the present article the swelling behavior of copolymer microgel particles made of poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)-co-vinylacetic acid using dynamic light scattering (DLS), neutron …

A kinetic model accounting for the copolymerization of up to four comonomers is applied to
predict both chain and radial functional group distributions in carboxylic-acid-functionalized …

Microgels (μgels) swiftly undergo structural and functional degradation when they are
exposed to shear forces, which potentially limit their applicability in, eg, biomedicine and …
