Soft Particles at Liquid Interfaces : From Molecular Particle Architecture to Collective Phase Behavior

Soft particles such as microgels can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a complex phase behavior upon compression. To date, experimental efforts have predominantly provided phenomenological links between microgel structure an...

520 |a Soft particles such as microgels can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a complex phase behavior upon compression. To date, experimental efforts have predominantly provided phenomenological links between microgel structure and resulting interfacial behavior, while simulations have not been entirely successful in reproducing experiments or predicting the minimal requirements for the desired phase behavior. Here, we develop a multiscale framework to link the molecular particle architecture to the resulting interfacial morphology and, ultimately, to the collective interfacial phase behavior. To this end, we investigate interfacial morphologies of different poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) particle systems using phase-contrast atomic force microscopy and correlate the distinct interfacial morphology with their bulk molecular architecture. We subsequently introduce a new coarse-grained simulation method that uses augmented potentials to translate this interfacial morphology into the resulting phase behavior upon compression. The main novelty of this method is the possibility to efficiently encode multibody interactions, the effects of which are key to distinguishing between heterostructural (anisotropic collapse) and isostructural (isotropic collapse) phase transitions. Our approach allows us to qualitatively resolve existing discrepancies between experiments and simulations. Notably, we demonstrate the first in silico account of the two-dimensional isostructural transition, which is frequently found in experiments but elusive in simulations. In addition, we provide the first experimental demonstration of a heterostructural transition to a chain phase in a single-component system, which has been theoretically predicted decades ago. Overall, our multiscale framework provides a phenomenological bridge between physicochemical soft-particle characteristics at the molecular scale and nanoscale and the collective self-assembly phenomenology at the macroscale, serving as a stepping stone toward an ultimately more quantitative and predictive design approach
