چکیده

We report a novel method to prepare soft colloids with well-controlled softness. The softness of the colloids was characterised by atomic force microscopy and rheometry. Possible applications of such soft colloids in uniform particle coatings are demonstrated.

On tuning microgel character and softness of cross-linked polystyrene particles.

Polystyrene (PS) microgel colloids have often been used successfully to model hard sphere behaviour even though the term "gel" invokes inevitably the notion of a more or less soft, deformable object. Here we systematically study the effect of reducing the cross-link density from 1 : 10 (1 cross-link per 10 monomers) to 1 : 100 on particle interactions and "softness". We report on the synthesis ...

Controllable Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Sargassum Angostifolium

A simple, fast and one-pot synthesis procedure based on the bioreduction ability of an algal extract solution has been developed to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We focus especially on the influencing factors of AgNPs formation. The effects of various factors like pH, temperature, the concentration of metal ions and alga, the volume ratio of silver nitrate solution to ...

Relevance of electrokinetic theory for "soft" particles to bacterial cells: implications for bacterial adhesion.

Bacterial cells and other biological particles carry charged macromolecules on their surface that form a "soft" ion-permeable layer. In this paper, we test the applicability of an electrokinetic theory for soft particles to characterize the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) and adhesion kinetics of bacterial cells. The theory allows the calculation of two parameters--the electrophoretic softness a...
