Query: Microgels Adsorbed at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: A Joint Numerical and
  Experimental Study   Soft particles display highly versatile properties with respect to hard
colloids, even more so at fluid-fluid interfaces. In particular, microgels,
consisting of a cross-linked polymer network, are able to deform and flatten
upon adsorption at the interface due to the balance between surface tension and
internal elasticity. Despite the existence of experimental results, a detailed
theoretical understanding of this phenomenon is still lacking due to the
absence of appropriate microscopic models. In this work, we propose an advanced
modelling of microgels at a flat water/oil interface. The model builds on a
realistic description of the internal polymeric architecture and
single-particle properties of the microgel and is able to reproduce its
experimentally observed shape at the interface. Complementing molecular
dynamics simulations with in-situ cryo-electron microscopy experiments and
atomic force microscopy imaging after Langmuir-Blodgett deposition, we compare
the morphology of the microgels for different values of the cross-linking
ratios. Our model allows for a systematic microscopic investigation of soft
particles at fluid interfaces, which is essential to develop predictive power
for the use of microgels in a broad range of applications, including the
stabilization of smart emulsions and the versatile patterning of surfaces.
