An account of the preparation and characterization of temperature-sensitive aqueous
microgels based on poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) was first published in 1986. Since then …

Because of its unique properties, water drives many natural and biological processes. While
a detailed understanding of its precise role is still being unravelled, it is clear that the …

Despite its compactness, the human eye can easily focus on different distances by adjusting
the shape of its lens with the help of ciliary muscles. In contrast, traditional man-made optical …

Colloidal dispersions play an important role in many different applications as eg, paints or
pharmaceutical formulations. Since the rheological behavior is relevant for processing of …

Coil− globule transition of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PIPA), followed by intermolecular
association in H2O and D2O, was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) …

We synthesised soft uncharged microgels made of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) of variable
cross-linking degrees and we probed their efficiency as stabilisers to fabricate oil-in-water …

The influence of the cross-link density on rheological properties of thermosensitive
microgels was investigated. The temperature-sensitive hydrogel particles consisted of poly …

Although water is often hailed as the lubricant of life, a detailed understanding of its role in
many chemical and biological processes still eludes us. In many natural systems, water is …

Conformational transitions in thermo-sensitive polymers are critical in determining their
functional properties. The atomistic origin of polymer collapse at the lower critical solution …

Abstract 3D printing of hydrogels usually relies on a combination of fine‐tuned material
chemistry and polymer chain architecture to obtain an ink with adequate yield‐stress flow …
