Form factor of pNIPAM microgels in overpacked states.
We study the form factor of thermoresponsive microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) at high generalized volume fractions, ζ, where the particles must shrink or interpenetrate to fit into the available space. Small-angle neutron scattering with contrast matching techniques is used to determine the particle form factor. We find that the particle size is constant up to a volume fraction ro...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of serum protein adsorption in PEGylated PNIPAm microgels.
The effect of PEGylation on the thermal response and protein adsorption resistance of crosslinked PNIPAm microgels was investigated. It was found that the presence of PEG, its molecular weight (M(n) 300 and 1100 g/mol) and its concentration (10, 20, and 30 wt.%) each significantly influenced both the value and breadth of the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) and the adsorption of bovin...
متن کاملMicrowave, photo- and thermally responsive PNIPAm-gold nanoparticle microgels.
Microwave-, photo- and thermo-responsive polymer microgels that range in size from 500 to 800 microm and are swollen with water were prepared by a novel microarray technique. We used a liquid-liquid dispersion technique in a system of three immiscible liquids to prepare hybrid PNIPAm- co-AM core-shell capsules loaded with AuNPs. The spontaneous encapsulation is a result of the formation of doub...
متن کاملMicrogels or microcapsules? Role of morphology on the release kinetics of thermoresponsive PNIPAm-co-PEGMa hydrogels†
The effect ofmorphology of PNIPAm, PEGMa and PNIPAm-co-PEGMa hydrogels on the uptake and delivery (release kinetics) of a model drug (FITC–dextran) was investigated. Two types of hydrogel architectures: microgels and microcapsules, without and with core–shell morphology, were synthesized. The microcapsules had 30–50% greater uptake compared to the corresponding microgel architecture. The estima...
متن کاملTemperature-induced molecular transport through polymer multilayers coated with PNIPAM microgels.
Polyelectrolyte multilayers serve as effective reservoirs for bioactive molecules which are stored and released from the multilayers for cellular applications. However, control over the release without significantly affecting the multilayers and biomolecules is still a challenge. On the other hand, externally stimulated release would make the multilayers promising for the development of stimuli...
