We introduce a theoretical approach to describe structural correlations among charged permeable spheres at finite particle concentrations. This theory explicitly accounts for correlations among microions and between microions and macroions and allows for the proposal of an effective interaction among macroions that successfully captures structural correlations observed in poly- N -isopropyl...

The structural and optical properties of thermosensitive particles, nanogels, are studied by light scattering and refractometry as a function of temperature. Nanogels are composed of poly- N-Isopropopylacrylamide, a polymer that shrinks at temperatures higher than its lower critical solution temperature, 33 °C. The internal nanogel structure obtained by light scattering is well modeled by...
