Influence of core affinity to the oil phase and of the grafting density on the conformation of adsorbed core‐shell microgels. a) Height profiles and b) location of the core for in silico core‐shell microgels with a core that retains a higher affinity to the oil phase as compared to the polymer chains (full lines), and with a core that retains the same affinity as the polymer chains for water and oil phases (dashed lines), for CS _{s, m, l} . c) Height profiles and d) location of the core for microgels with varying grafting density $C{S}_m^{10}$, CS _m , and $C{S}_m^{100}$. Data are only for microgels whose core has a higher affinity to the oil phase. In all cases, negative z‐values are for the water phase.
