Crystallization kinetics of charged PNIPAM microgels dispersions at low volume fractions
This work studies the kinetics of crystallization of charged microgels suspensions of Poly-N-Isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) at low ionic strength. The liquid-crystal transition is induced by suddenly decreasing the temperature of the microgel dispersion, and the crystallization process is monitored by...
