Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-
like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to …

Highlights•The range of Pickering-type particles proposed recently has increased
enormously.•Imaginative use of cellulose, prolamins, and starch in particular.•Challenges …

Soft particles display highly versatile properties with respect to hard colloids and even more
so at fluid–fluid interfaces. In particular, microgels, consisting of a cross-linked polymer …

Microgels are nanometer-to-micrometer-sized cross-linked polymer networks that swell
when dispersed in a good solvent. These soft colloids have emerged as versatile building …

Microgels are complex macromolecules. These colloid-sized polymer networks possess
internal degrees of freedom and, depending on the polymer (s) they are made of, can …

Various aspects of microgel adsorption at fluid-fluid interfaces of relevance to emulsion and
foam stabilization have been reviewed. The emphasis is on the wider non-food literature …

We report on the swelling of a polymeric network in doubly thermoresponsive microgels.
Silica-core double-shell and hollow double-shell microgels made of an inner poly (N …

Exploring and controlling chemical reactions in compartments opens new platforms for
designing bioinspired catalysts and energy-autonomous systems. Aqueous polymer …

Mixing immiscible liquids typically requires the use of auxiliary substances including phase
transfer catalysts, microgels, surfactants, complex polymers and nano-particles and/or …

We propose a mean-field theory and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations of
swelling and collapse of a polymer microgel adsorbed at the interface of two immiscible …
