Dynamic phase diagram of soft nanocolloids

Abstract: We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study covering micro-, meso- and macroscopic length and time scales, which enables us to establish a generalized view in terms of structure-property relationship and equilibrium dynamics of soft colloids. We introduce a new, tunable block copolymer model system, which allows us to vary the aggregation number, and consequently its softness, by changing the solvophobic-to-solvophilic block ratio (m : n) over two orders of magnitude. Based on a simple and ge… Show more

“…Our findings impressively confirm the microscopic origin of colloidal "softness" and its effects on the validity of the Stokes-Einstein relation for degrees of metastability for which it normally breaks down in the case of hard colloidal and molecular systems. In this way, they open up new realms for understanding and tailoring complex fluids not only with respect to structure and phase behavior [11] but also for colloidal dynamics [54].…”

“…Crosslinked polymeric particles represent a special class of soft colloids with the ability of adapting their dimensions according to the surrounding environment or via an external stimulus. [1][2][3] So far, very attractive applications derived from nanogels and microgels in suspensions or at fluid-fluid interfaces have been proposed such as: controlled drug delivery, catalysis, antifouling coatings, cell encapsulation and tissue engineering, among others. [4][5][6][7] Deformability, especially at interfaces, is the most differentiating feature with respect to core-shell colloids and truly hard solid particles.…”
