Impact of Single-Particle Compressibility on the Fluid-Solid Phase Transition for Ionic Microgel Suspensions
We study ionic microgel suspensions composed of swollen particles for various single-particle stiffnesses. We measure the osmotic pressure π of these suspensions and show that it is dominated by the contribution of free ions in solution. As this ionic osmotic pressure depends on the volume fraction of the suspension ϕ, …
