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 …

Cellular engulfment and uptake of macromolecular assemblies or nanoparticles via
endocytosis can be associated to both healthy and disease-related biological processes as …

Water-soluble microgels have been known for over than three decades. Initially introduced
as thermoresponsive polymer colloids with tunable softness, these macromolecular objects …

Hypothesis One of the major challenges in applying CO 2-responsive surfactants concerns
their tunable switchability and robustness under operating conditions. We hypothesize that …

Highly monodisperse polystyrene/poly (N-isopropylmethacrylamide)(PS-PNIPMAM) core–
shell composite microgels were synthesized and further nanoengineered in either …

Microgels, cross-linked polymers with submicrometer size, are ideal soft model systems.
While spherical microgels have been studied extensively, anisotropic microgels have hardly …

Anisotropic, submicrometer-sized particles are versatile systems providing interesting
features in creating ordering in two-dimensional systems. Combining hard ellipsoids with a …

Directed colloidal self-assembly at fluid interfaces can have a large impact in the fields of
nanotechnology, materials, and biomedical sciences. The ability to control interfacial self …

We have seen a considerable effort in colloid sciences to copy Nature's successful
strategies to fabricate complex functional structures through self-assembly. This includes …

Interfacial properties are of critical importance to various separation applications. In heavy
oil recovery, for example, a low oil–water interfacial tension (IFT) benefits the separation of …
