  2. 1. Fluids, Gels and Crystals : Phase behavior of binary thermoresponsive microgel mixtures

    Author : Jasper Immink; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; colloidal phase behavior; microgel; binary mixture; colloidal gel; sequential gelation; patchy particle; binary crystal; crystal-to-crystal transition;

    Abstract : Thermoresponsive colloidal microgels expel solvent from their interior upon crossing a threshold temperature, resulting in a significantly reduced size. The collapse of microgels can reversibly switch the interparticle interactions from soft repulsive to attractive, and the accompanying size reduction allows for precise control over volume fraction.

  4. 2. Structure, phase behavior, and dynamics of colloidal systems characterized by strong, short- and moderate-ranged attractions: a computational study

    Author : Bodil Ahlström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Attractions between colloidal particles are often so strong that non-equilibrium behavior results. However, dissolved non-adsorbing polymer can be added to give a weak attraction between particles so that equilibrium phase transitions appear at moderate polymer concentrations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring bis-MPA Based Dendritic Structures in Biomedicine

    Author : Oliver Andrén; Michael Malkoch; Peter Löwenhielm; Sandra Garcia Gallego; Karen Wooley; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimers; Polymers; antibacterial; self-assembly; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In the last decades there has been significant advances in polymer chemistry. New coupling chemistries, polymerization techniques and accelerated approaches enable researches to push the limits of structural control. READ MORE
