Oppositely charged microgels in crowded environment, a SANS with contrast variation study
Microgels are soft and responsive particles that can deswell or deform in response to increasing their concentration in suspension. Deswelling is governed by their counter-ion clouds and, therefore, is particularly strong for highly charged ionic microgels. In this proposal, we want to use SANS with contrast variation to study the form factors of individual charged microgels in a matrix of oppositely charged microgels. The results can have important implications for a better understanding of the self-assembly of ¿smart¿ functional materials based on oppositely charged microgels. Furthermore, our systematic investigation might shed light on contrasting report on the response of individual nanogels in crowded environment reported in the literature.
