Highlights

In this paper, we present the fed-batch synthesis of microgels in the 1-5 µm size range. We backed up experimental

Microgels have versatile applications due to their possible functionalization with co-monomers. We present the rational model-based design of synthesis procedures

In this work we study ultra-low crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels (ULC), which can behave like colloids or flexible polymers depending on

The degree of crosslinking plays an essential role in understanding the correlation between structure and properties of microgels. A cross-linker

From batch to continuous precipitation polymerization of thermoresponsive microgels Thermoresponsive microgels are typically fabricated by precipitation polymerization. This process is

Functionalized microgels are typically based on structured copolymers, whose synthesis necessitates knowledge of interactions between different monomer units. This contribution

We present a validated process model for microgels synthesis by precipitation copolymerization of Vinylcaprolactam with the cross-linker N,N’-methylenebis(acrylamide). Unknown reaction

From unimolecular micelles in a selective solvent to the stable monolayers of variable density and nanostructure at a liquid interface

Microgels are promising scaffolds for the presentation of biomolecules such as glycans. Coupling of the cell-surface glycan N-Acetyllactosamine (Galβ1,4GlcNAc, LacNAc)
