Deskripsi

The structural characterization of microgels at interfaces is fundamental for the understanding of their 2D phase behavior but characterization is usually limited by available experimental techniques and does not allow a direct investigation at interfaces. Here, the authors employ neutron reflectometry, which allows probing the structure and responsiveness of the microgels in-situ at the air-water interface.
