Fig. 3. Effect of surfactant on the microgel assembly process.

Fig. 3

Patterning of precursor solution with (A) and without (B) surfactant; and assembled microgels in the precursor solution with (C) and without surfactant (D); (E) microgel assembly on ‘MIT’ pattern with the addition of surfactant; (Due to the large size of the ‘MIT’ pattern, image of the letter ‘M’, ‘I’, ‘T’ was taken individually and merged by Photoshop); (F) quantitative analysis of the effects of the 0.1% and 0.5% surfactant on the microgel assembly. Scale bars are 400μm.
