Abstract: The biomolecular interaction of ligand-presenting switchable microgels is studied with respect to the polymer type, composition, and structure of the microgels. Monodisperse microgels are prepared through precipitation polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM microgels) or oligo(ethylene glycol… read more here.

Abstract: The ordered coassembly of mixed-dimensional species-such as zero-dimensional (0D) nanocrystals and 2D microscale nanosheets-is commonly deemed impracticable, as phase separation almost invariably occurs. Here, by manipulating the ligand grafting density, we achieve ordered coassembly of… read more here.
