The softness of nanohydrogels results in unique properties and recently attracted tremendous interest due to the multi-functionalization of interfaces. Herein, we study extremely soft temperature-sensitive ultra-low cross-linked (ULC) nanogels adsorbed to the solid/water interface by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ultra-soft nanogels seem to disappear in classical imaging modes since a sharp tip fully penetrates these porous networks with very low forces in the range of steric interactions ( ...[more]
