Phase behavior of ionic microgels.
We employ effective interaction potentials between spherical polyelectrolyte microgels in order to investigate theoretically the structure, thermodynamics, and phase behavior of ionic microgel solutions. Combining a genetic algorithm with accurate free energy calculations we are able to perform an unrestricted search of candidate crystal structures. Hexagonal, body-centered orthogonal, and trig...
متن کاملThe role of initiator on the dispersibility of polystyrene microgels in non-aqueous solvents
Non-aqueous microgel particles are commonly synthesised in water, dried, and then redispersed in non-aqueous solvents. An important factor to consider when synthesising such particles is the initiator, which can determine how well the particles disperse in solvents. Polystyrene microgel particles were made with three different initiators. When a neutral, oil soluble initiator (azobisisobutyroni...
متن کاملDirect visualization of three-dimensional crystallization behavior in microgels.
We use confocal microscopy to study the three-dimensional (3D) structure of colloidal crystals formed by poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-(acrylic acid) microgels of diameter 1.0-1.5 μm. The confocal images are tracked to locate particle positions in 3D, which are used to compute pair-correlation functions g(r), bond order parameters, and structure factors s(q). We find that the structure remains...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Sulfonated Polystyrene Systems
INTRODUCTION Polymer blends are of great interest because they provide an economical route to design and produce novel materials that meet the challenging requirements for industrial applications. Recently, a variety of experimental and theoretical work has been conducted as a means for producing materials with improved properties compared to those of its constituents. Some of the findings sugg...
متن کاملMechanical Behavior of an Electrostatically-Actuated Microbeam under Mechanical Shock
In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are ...
