Rheological measurements are utilized to examine the yielding behavior of a polystyrene (PS) core and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) shell microgel system with varying shell/core ratio.For a shell/core ratio of 0.15,which is near hard sphere (HS),the suspensions show a typical HS yielding response where the loss modulus (G") exhibits a single peak due to cage breaking.As a result of tighter cages and less cage distortion prior to yielding,the location of the peak of G" decreases with volume fraction.
