Polymeric microgel characterization with light scattering and wet–sample electron microscopy

Light Scattering and wet-sample electron microscopy (SEM) will be used as complementary techniques to study structure and dynamics of non-toxic polymeric microgels which is an important system for drug-delivery/biosensing applications. Specially developed SEM preparation and wet-cell measurement techniques will be probed in the effort to expand applicability of SEM to biological and organic systems.
