Temperature-sensitive asymmetric microgels

Description

The lab of Daniela Wilson from Radboud university used VAHEAT to monitor thermo-responsive micromotors of which the motion can be controlled by changes of temperature. They observe the shrinking and swelling volumes of thermo-responsive asymmetric microgels upon temperature cycles at 43 °C and 20 °C.
