Coarse-grained solvent-free model for computer simulation of self-assembled amphiphiles [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe propose a novel coarse-grained model potential for computer simulation of amphiphiles in aqueous solvent. The model was specially designed to accommodate molecules having single or double chains belonging to various amphiphile species.

Peptide Linked Diacetylene Amphiphiles for Detection of Epitope Specific Antibodies
Chemosensors, 2022 Antibodies produced in response to adaptive immunity provide a receptor with multiple sites for binding to a distinct epitope of an antigen. Determining antibody levels to specific antigens has important clinical applications in assessing immune status ...

Controlling Liquid Crystal Configuration and Phase Using Multiple Molecular Triggers
Molecules, 2022 Liquid crystals are able to transform a local molecular interaction into a macroscopic change of state, making them a valuable “smart” material. Here, we investigate a novel polymeric amphiphile as a candidate for molecular triggering of liquid crystal ...

Amphiphilic Graphene Composites
Angewandte Chemie, 2010 Both kinds of solubility: An amphiphilic reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite is synthesized by using a novel coil-rod-coil conjugated triblock copolymer as the π–π binding stabilizer. Such a graphene-based composite can be dissolved not only in organic solvents with low polarity (such as toluene and chloroform) but also in water-miscible solvents ...
