abstract = {The peculiar linear temperature-dependent swelling of
core-shell microgels has been conjectured to be linked to
the core-shell architecture combining materials of different
transition temperatures. Here the structure of pNIPMAM-core
and pNNPAM-shell microgels in water is studied as a function
of temperature using small-angle neutron scattering with
selective deuteration. Photon correlation spectroscopy is
used to scrutinize the swelling behaviour of the colloidal
particles and reveals linear swelling. Moreover, these
experiments are also employed to check the influence of
deuteration on swelling. Using a form-free multi-shell
reverse Monte Carlo approach, the small-angle scattering
data are converted into radial monomer density profiles. The
comparison of ‘core-only’ particles consisting of
identical cores to fully hydrogenated core-shell microgels,
and finally to H-core/D-shell architectures unambiguously
shows that core and shell monomers display gradient profiles
with strong interpenetration, leading to cores embedded in
shells which are bigger than their isolated ‘core-only’
precursor particles. This surprising result is further
generalized to different core cross-linker contents, for
temperature ranges encompassing both transitions. Our
analysis demonstrates that the internal structure of
pNIPMAM-core and pNNPAM-shell microgels is heterogeneous and
strongly interpenetrated, presumably allowing only
progressive core swelling at temperatures intermediate to
both transition temperatures, thus promoting linear swelling
behaviour.},
