abstract = {The preparation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels
via classical precipitation polymerization (batch method)
and a continuous monomer feeding approach (feeding method)
leads to different internal crosslinker distributions, i.e.,
from core–shell-like to a more homogeneous one. The
internal structure and dynamics of these microgels with low
and medium crosslinker concentrations are studied with
dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering
in a wide q-range below and above the volume phase
transition temperature. The influence of the preparation
method, and crosslinker and initiator concentration on the
internal structure of the microgels is investigated. In
contrast to the classical conception where polymer microgels
possess a core–shell structure with the averaged internal
polymer density distribution within the core part, a
detailed view of the internal inhomogeneities of the PNIPAM
microgels and the presence of internal domains even above
the volume phase transition temperature, when polymer
microgels are in the deswollen state, are presented. The
correlation between initiator concentration and the size of
internal domains that appear inside the microgel with
temperature increase is demonstrated. Moreover, the
influence of internal inhomogeneities on the dynamics of the
batch- and feeding-microgels studied with neutron spin-echo
spectroscopy is reported.},
