. 2019 Oct;
52(20):7584-7592.
PMID: 31656322
Thermoresponsive microgels are soft colloids that find widespread use as model systems for soft matter physics. Their complex internal architecture, made of a disordered and heterogeneous polymer network, has been...

PMID: 31589214
Recent progress has been made in the numerical modelling of neutral microgel particles with a realistic, disordered structure. In this work we extend this approach to the case of co-polymerised...

PMID: 31342428
In this chapter we describe numerical procedures to evaluate the phase behavior of coarse-grained models for globular proteins. Specifically we focus on models based on hard spheres complemented with "patchy-like"...

ACS Nano
. 2019 Mar;
13(4):4548-4559.
PMID: 30865829
Soft particles display highly versatile properties with respect to hard colloids and even more so at fluid-fluid interfaces. In particular, microgels, consisting of a cross-linked polymer network, are able to...

Ruiz-Franco J, Gnan N, Zaccarelli E
J Chem Phys
. 2019 Jan;
150(2):024905.
PMID: 30646712
A transition from solid-like to liquid-like behavior occurs when colloidal gels are subjected to a prolonged exposure to a steady shear. This phenomenon, which is characterized by a yielding point,...

Soft Matter
. 2018 Dec;
15(6):1108-1119.
PMID: 30543246
Microgels are complex macromolecules. These colloid-sized polymer networks possess internal degrees of freedom and, depending on the polymer(s) they are made of, can acquire a responsiveness to variations of the...

Nat Commun
. 2018 Nov;
9(1):5039.
PMID: 30487527
Thermoresponsive microgels find widespread use as colloidal model systems, because their temperature-dependent size allows facile tuning of their volume fraction in situ. However, an interaction potential unifying their behavior across...

J Phys Condens Matter
. 2017 Dec;
30(4):044001.
PMID: 29231178
Microgels are soft colloids that, by virtue of their polymeric nature, can react to external stimuli such as temperature or pH by changing their size. The resulting swelling/deswelling transition can...

Macromolecules
. 2017 Nov;
50(21):8777-8786.
PMID: 29151620
Microgels are colloidal-scale particles individually made of cross-linked polymer networks that can swell and deswell in response to external stimuli, such as changes to temperature or pH. Despite a large...

PMID: 28829478
Effective colloid-colloid interactions can be tailored through the addition of a complex cosolute. Here we investigate the case of a cosolute made by self-assembling patchy particles. Depending on the valence,...
