Swelling, structure and hybrid microgel particles — •Antonio Fernandez-Barbero — Department of Applied Physics, University of Almería, 04120-Almería, Spain

Different aspects about the swelling of individual microgel particles are revised: thermodynamics, microscopic structure, colloidal aggregation, solvent confinement,..., as well as discontinuous transitions. The structure of dense colloidal suspensions containing microgel particles will be discussed. Finally, the properties of different material are combined to design and fabricate hybrid particles with modulated response.
