The structures of single microgels and microgel arrays at the air/water interface were directly visualized correlated with π – A isotherms to understand compression behavior soft deformable interface.
The compression of deformed hydrogel microspheres (microgels) at air/water interfaces was investigated using a Langmuir-Blodgett trough with simultaneous in situ visualization the process fluorescent microscope. relationship between structure microgel arrays and behavior clarified microgels different degrees crosslinking.
ヒドロゲル微粒子は,水を良溶媒とする高分子三次元架橋体が大きさ数百ナノメートル程度のコロイド粒子であり,ゲルとコロイド粒子の特徴を兼ね備える。固体粒子とは異なり,水で膨潤した柔らかいゲル微粒子は,気水表面において大きく変形することで自発的に吸着し,エマルションや泡の安定化剤,コーティング剤などの応用に期待されている。本稿では,ゲル微粒子に特徴的な界面挙動を活かした機能性高分子材料について解説する。
