Doubly crosslinked microgel-colloidosomes: a versatile method for pH-responsive capsule assembly using microgels as macro-crosslinkers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new family of pH-responsive microgel-colloidosomes was prepared using microgel particles as the building blocks and macro-crosslinker. Our simple and versatile method used covalent inter-linking of vinyl-functionalised microgel particles adsorbed to oil droplets to form shells of doubly crosslinked microgels (DX MGs) and was demonstrated using two different microgel types.

Monodisperse stimuli-responsive colloidosomes by self-assembly of microgels in droplets.
We introduce a novel and versatile technique to fabricate monodisperse stimuli-responsive colloidosomes using stimuli-responsive microgel particles as building blocks, aqueous droplets as templates, and microfluidic devices to control the assembly. Our colloidosomes exhibit approximately 80% decrease in volume when actuated; thus, they can be of immense potential in applications that require ta...
متن کاملSwelling and mechanical properties of hydrogels composed of binary blends of inter-linked pH-responsive microgel particles.
We show that a new type of hydrogel can be prepared by covalently inter-linking binary blends of microgel (MG) particles and that the swelling ratio and modulus of the gels can be predicted from their composition. In previous work we established that physical gels of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) functionalised poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid-co-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) microge...
متن کاملPoly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons for Optical Sensing
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) is one of the most completely studied “smart” polymers due to its unique reversible thermoresponsivity.That is, when pNIPAm in water is heated > ~31°C, it transits from a random coil to a globule conformation; this transition is reversed when T < ~31°C. This conformational change is accompanied by water exchange process. When pNIPAm undergoes the coil to gl...

متن کاملGiant pH-responsive microgel colloidosomes: preparation, interaction dynamics and stability.
The interactions of two oil droplets grown in the presence of swollen, lightly cross-linked cationic poly(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PTBAEMA) microgels was monitored using a high-speed video camera. Three oils (n-dodecane, isopropyl myristate and sunflower oil) were investigated, each in the absence and presence of an oil-soluble cross-linker [tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate-terminated poly(...
