Softness plays a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of colloidal systems,
from synthetic nanogels to biological macromolecules, from viruses to star polymers …

Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-
like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to …

The widespread prevalence of commercial products made from microgels illustrates the
immense practical value of harnessing the jamming transition; there are countless ways to …

Biopolymer microgels have considerable potential for their ability to encapsulate, protect,
and release bioactive components. Biopolymer microgels are small particles (typically 100 …

The physics above and below the yield stress is unified by a simple model for viscoplasticity
that accounts for the nonlinear rheology of multiple yield stress fluids. The model has a rate …

Time-and rate-dependent material functions in non-Newtonian fluids in response to different
deformation fields pose a challenge in integrating different constitutive models into …

Due to their controlled size, sensitivity to external stimuli, and ease-of-use, microgel colloids
are unique building blocks for soft materials made by crosslinking polymers on the …

Embedded extrusion printing, which prints inks in a support bath, is a promising approach
for printing complex 3D structures using low-modulus, low-viscosity, or slow-solidifying inks …

Abstract 3D printed materials are of great relevance to produce medicinal scaffolds and
specialized foods. An approach to forming 3D printable materials is to use jammed oil …

Physical networks typically employ enthalpy-dominated crosslinking interactions that
become more dynamic at elevated temperatures, leading to network softening. Moreover …
