Correction to “Modeling Microgels with a Controlled Structure across the Volume Phase Transition”

Abstract

The bottom panel of Figure 2e displays an incorrect cross-linker density profile, derived from averaging together incorrect topologies. The corrected profile is given Figure 2e below. As a consequence, the final sentence of the paragraph “The Choice of the Designing Force” should be revised from "Interestingly, in this case, the cross-linker profile is continuously decreasing from the center of the microgel and does not reflect the total profile of all monomers." to "In this case, the cross-linker profile follows the core-corona structure of the total profile of all monomers". Figure 2. (e) Density profiles for all particles (symbols) and for cross-linkers only (dashed lines). Inward forces acting only on cross-linkers is considered as in eq 5 of the main paper with g = 8 × 10^–3 and k = 4.5 × 10^–5. The integral of ρ(r) is normalized to a constant value ∫ρ(r) dr = n with n = 10, 5 for all particles and cross-linkers, respectively, to improve visualization. Data are averaged over four independent realizations obtained with the numerical protocol described in the Models and Methods section of the main paper.
