The last decade of research in the physical sciences has seen a dramatic increase in the
study of nanoscale materials. Today,“nanoscience” has emerged as a multidisciplinary …

The precise control of the formation of stimuli-sensitive sequences (block or graft) as part of
copolymer architectures is fascinating because of the remarkable phase behavior of their …

This review describes the use of breath figures as a templating method for the fabrication of
self‐assembled polymeric‐and nanoparticle‐based micro‐and nanostructures. If moist air is …

With the continued development of thermoresponsive colloidal hydrogel particles, a number
of groups have begun to exploit their properties to create dynamic materials self-assembled …

We report for the first time a photothermally responsive composite material based on
polymer microgel particles doped with gold nanorods. We used the dependence of the …

Colloidal dispersions have been studied for decades as a result of their utility in numerous
applications and as models for molecular and atomic condensed phases. More recently, a …

Macroporous hydrogels may have direct applications in regenerative medicine as scaffolds
to support tissue formation. Hydrogel microspheres may be used as drug-delivery vehicles …

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

Semi-IPN hydrogels in which poly (vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP) chains were physically dispersed
throughout poly (acrylamide)(PAM) gel networks were synthesized. These semi-IPN …

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 …
