Microgel Particles with Distinct Morphologies and Common Chemical Compositions: a Unified Description of the Responsivity to Temperature and Osmotic Stress

Microgel Particles with Distinct Morphologies and Common Chemical Compositions: a Unified Description of the Responsivity to Temperature and Osmotic Stress

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel microparticles with different core–shell morphologies have been designed, while maintaining an unvaried chemical composition: a morphology with (i) an un-crosslinked core with a crosslinked shell of PNIPAM chains and (ii) PNIPAM chains crosslinked to for...
