Conspectus Microgels are macromolecular networks swollen by the solvent in which they
are dissolved. They are unique systems that are distinctly different from common colloids …

The transport of suspensions of microparticles in confined environments is associated with
complex phenomena at the interface of fluid mechanics and soft matter. Indeed, the …

Diverse processes—eg, environmental pollution, groundwater remediation, oil recovery,
filtration, and drug delivery—involve the transport of colloidal particles in porous media …

Soft particles such as polymeric microgels can form ultra-dense phases, where the average
center-to-center distance as can be smaller than the initial unperturbed particle diameter σ 0 …

Cross-scale polydisperse particulate-fluid flows are widely practised yet their multi-
resolution simulations are not achieved due to the lack of reliable numerical methods. In this …

Increasing the particle density of a suspension of microgel colloids above the point of
random-close packing, must involve deformations of the particle to accommodate the …

The almost ubiquitous, though undesired, deposition and accumulation of
suspended/dissolved matter on solid surfaces, known as fouling, represents a crucial issue …

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 …

The flow of a suspension through a bottleneck often leads to its obstruction. Such a
continuous flow to clogging transition has been well characterized when the constriction …

Over the past two decades, microfluidics has made significant contributions to material and
life sciences, particularly via the design of nano-, micro-and mesoscale materials such as …
