Microgels, cross-linked polymers with submicrometer size, are ideal soft model systems. While spherical microgels have been studied extensively, anisotropic microgels have been hardly investigated. In this study, we compare the interfacial deformation and assembly of anisotropic core-shell and hollow microgels. The core-shell microgel consists of an elliptical core of hematite covered with a thin silica layer and a thin shell made of poly(N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM). The hollow microgels were obtained after a two step etching procedure of the inorganic core. The behavior of these microgels at the oil-water interface was investigated in a Langmuir Blodgett trough combined with ex-situ atomic force microscopy. First, the influence of the architecture of anisotropic 1
