Amphiphilic Lignin Nanoparticles Made from Lignin-Acrylic Acid-Methyl Methacrylate Copolymers
In this study, a novel amphiphilic KL-AA-MMA nanoparticle was prepared through the graft copolymerization of kraft lignin (KL) with acrylic acid (AA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA), using potassium persulfate as an initiator in a water/dimethyl sulfoxide ...

Microfluidically fabricated pH-responsive anionic amphiphilic microgels for drug release [PDF]
© 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Amphiphilic microgels of different composition based on the hydrophilic, pH-responsive acrylic acid (AA) and the hydrophobic, non-ionic n-butyl acrylate (BuA) were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device ...

Correlated dynamics of water and amphiphilic molecules in thin Newton black films [PDF]
The dynamical properties of amphiphilics in Newton black films, as well as those of the water confined between the two charged hydrophilic surfaces, have been calculated via a series of molecular dynamic calculations in several films with different water

The Interaction Mechanism of Intramuscular Gene Delivery Materials with Cell Membranes
It has been confirmed that skeletal muscle cells have the capability to receive foreign plasmid DNA (pDNA) and express functional proteins. This provides a promisingly applicable strategy for safe, convenient, and economical gene therapy.

Assembly, growth and conductive properties of tellurium nanorods produced by Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 [PDF]
Tellurite (TeO32-) is a hazardous and toxic oxyanion for living organisms. However, several microorganisms can bioconvert TeO32- into the less toxic form of elemental tellurium (Te0).

Stress response and structural transitions in sheared gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases: lattice-Boltzmann simulations [PDF]
We report on the stress response of gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases to steady shear simulated using a bottom-up lattice-Boltzmann model for amphiphilic fluids and sliding periodic (Lees-Edwards) boundary conditions.

Amphiphilic Graphene Composites
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 ...
