the Softness matters: effects of compression on the behavior of adsorbed microgels at interfaces By pubs.rsc.org Published On :: Soft Matter, 2024, Advance ArticleDOI: 10.1039/D4SM00235K, Paper Open Access   This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.Yuri Gerelli, Fabrizio Camerin, Steffen Bochenek, Maximilian M. Schmidt, Armando Maestro, Walter Richtering, Emanuela Zaccarelli, Andrea ScottiAs lateral compression is applied, microgel particles with different softness exhibit distinct behaviours. Hard microgels (green particles) are pushed away from the air–water interface, whereas soft ones (orange particles) are less deformed.To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above.The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry Full Article
the Deformation-dependent gel surface topography due to the elastocapillary and osmocapillary effects By pubs.rsc.org Published On :: Soft Matter, 2024, Advance ArticleDOI: 10.1039/D4SM00139G, Paper Open Access   This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence.Luochang Wang, Qihan LiuElastocapillary and osmocapillary effects can roughen a stretched surface although the elastic Poisson’s effect always flattens a stretched surface.To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above.The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry Full Article
