Controlling the interfacial behaviour of colloidal microgel systems

Hydrophobically modified colloidal microgel particles were prepared by a surfactant-free emulsion polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with more hydrophobic vinyl ether/ester/silane co-monomers (10 % total mass monomer). Most of the resultant dispersions were novel co-polymer microgels an...
