This review aims to summarise some of the recent progress made in the microgel field including their ability to act as emulsion stabilisers, with a focus on cellulose microgels (CMGs). A brief overview of cellulose processing is also given, describing the dissolution and reprecipitation routes ...

Here, we propose a method to address this challenge. In this work, we explore the applicability of cell-laden core-shell microgels at the interface of bioprinting and functional living materials. Based on an aqueous two-phase system between gelatin/gelatin methacryloyl (gelMA) and carboxymethylcellu...
The biofabrication of complex human tissues to recapitulate organ-specific architecture and function requires a combination of engineering control and intrinsic self-assembly. Organoid bioprinting encompasses additive manufacturing approaches that can im
2.1. Synthesis and characterization of the particles The synthesis of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes [29] and of core–shell microgels [38] is well advanced and nearly monodisperse model systems can be prepared without problems. The characterization of the particles can be done as discussed recently...
silica@PMMA core-shell nanoparticles with light-initiated polymerization method [17]. The thickness of the PMMA shell can be tuned by UV irradiation (Figure11) without altering the main chemical structures and bondings of the composite systems [12]. The SiO2particles impregnated in the PMMA help...
Similar approaches based on cell spheroids34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42, microgels containing cells43,44,45, and modular microtissues with an exterior coating of endothelial cells23 have all shown microvascular potential in vitro and in vivo. Inspired by these and other previous studies, our ...
Liu et al.107described the combination of polymer brushes and microgels to prepare a kind of soft water-lubrication additive, which may be a promising candidate for simultaneous biomimetic lubrication and arthritis treatment (Fig.8b). In a typical case, poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt...
For example, while microgels have been used in basecoats for flow control at levels of not more than about 5%, the present dispersed polymers are used in an amount varying from about 10 to 60% by weight, preferably about 15 to 40%, more preferably about 20 to 30%, of the total ...
The preparation of predominately hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanoparticles, microgels and/or macrogels is described with various fractions of stable and cleavable crosslinks within the gel particle. The term “stable” in this case additionally comprises molecules with links that can be slowly degraded ...
