Imagine the situation when a solvent droplet with nanogel molecule in it deposited on the soild surface via some procedure (for instance,by some nanopipette).
Thank you. Here's another question: imagine we have several nanogel molecules with diffrent crosslink density. Then we deposit them onto the substrate with some solvent (droplets). The initial size of each droplet is the same and approximately equals to the size of the most dense nanogel (i.e. the one with the smallest hydrodynamic radius). That means that the particles with lower crosslink density will be confined within the droplet volume and thus couldn't be considered as fully swollen ones. Is such situation is possible in reality or it's just an abstract model?
Hello dear, the particle with lowest crosslink degree will have smallest hydrodynamic dymensions if the droplet volumen is higher than that of the particle, so the particle will be confined into the droplet.
