Abstract:
In this study, we show that core/shell (CS) microgels with multiple layers can be created via a one-pot precipitation polymerization, in which monomers are added to the reaction flask multiple times once most of the previous monomer has been consumed. The complex internal structures of the microgels were examined using a combination of scattering and microscopy techniques.
