abstract = {Microgels are flexible entities with a number of properties
which can be tailored for a variety of applications. For
redox-sensitive PNIPAM-based microgels involved in this
study, the size and effective charge of microgels can be
manipulated by electrochemical means. The electrochemical
switching is implemented via interaction of redox-sensitive
counterions (hexacyanoferrates: HCF) with oppositely charged
(cationic) thermoresponsive microgels. Effects on the
internal dynamics upon uptake of HCF and increased
hydrophobicity with temperature are investigated with
neutron spin echo spectroscopy. The polymer segmental
dynamics is well described by the Zimm model. Unbalanced
charges (in absence of HCF) apparently shorten the polymer
length acting like confined discontinuity points (pinning).
This effect vanishes in the presence of HCF. The ability of
multivalent ferricyanides to bind several monovalent polymer
charges at the same time produces an apparent secondary
network. This effective bridging makes the dynamics slower
analogous to an increase in cross-linker density. In support
of this picture, an enhanced viscosity of the medium, where
the polymer chains move, was obtained by the fitting},
