DOI: 10.1016/j.polymer.2021.123637
Abstract: Abstract Applications of thermo-responsive (TR) gels in biomedicine and biotechnoligy require modulation of their volume phase transition temperature T c in a rather wide interval. This is conventionally performed by incorporation of hydrophilic or hydrophobic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05673-9
Abstract: Diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center-based magnetometry provides a unique opportunity for quantum bio-sensing. However, NV centers are not sensitive to parameters such as temperature and pressure, and immune to many biochemical parameters such as pH and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c9sm00911f
Abstract: This paper explores the physical mechanisms responsible for the appearance of small blisters on the surface of temperature sensitive hydrogels as they deswell rapidly during their volume phase transition. For this, we develop a numerical… read more here.
