Compression and Interpenetration of Ionic Microgels in Electrostatically Self-Assembled Clusters
Colloidal self-assembly is a powerful strategy to obtain materials with desired softness, porosity and biocompatibility. When soft building blocks are used, these properties can change dramatically, compared to materials produced using hard particles. However, the fate of individual colloids inside these assemblies is...
