Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) has evolved into an indispensable
tool for the characterization of colloidal drug delivery systems. It can be applied to study the …

Polymeric nanoparticles represent one major class of nanomaterials that has been
proposed to improve the sustainability of agricultural operations by delivering organic …

Gold nanoparticles and their arrays are some of the most studied nanomaterials, with
promising applications in many fields such as electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis and …

We review recent work on the preparation, characterization and application of “smart”
microgel particles. A general feature of all systems under consideration here is their ability to …

We review recent work done on thermosensitive core–shell particles that consist of a solid
core onto which a shell of crosslinked polymer as, eg, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPA) …

Polysaccharide (PS) nanoparticles (NP) are intensively studied in various branches of basic
and applied sciences; from polymer chemistry over material research to advanced …

This review is devoted to poly (NIPAM) based microgels and nanoparticle/polymer hybrid
microgels. It tries to give a brief overview of recent developments with respect to new …

Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation 2e provides a practical and intuitive
explanation of emulsion polymerization, in combination with both conventional and …

This review collects and describes experiments that employ colloidal suspensions to probe
physics in ordered and disordered solids and related complex fluids. The unifying feature of …

Thermosensitive core-shell microgels can be used as “nanoreactors” for the immobilization
of metal nanoparticles. The microgels consist of a polystyrene core and a network made of …
