Validation of smart nanoparticles as controlled drug delivery systems: loading and pH-dependent release of pilocarpine [PDF]
, 2017 Micelles are good devices for use as controlled drug delivery systems because they exhibit the ability to protect the encapsulated substance from the routes of degradation until they reach the site of action. The present work assesses loading kinetics of

Amphiphilic dendritic peptides: Synthesis and behavior as an organogelator and liquid crystal
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011 New amphiphilic dendritic peptides on dendritic polyaspartic acid were designed and synthesized. The organogel and liquid crystal properties of these amphiphilic dendritic peptides were fully studied by field-emission SEM, temperature dependent FT-IR ...

Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptides
Journal of Peptide Science, 2014 The self‐assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self‐assembly of lipopeptides, surfactant‐like peptides and amyloid peptides derived from the amyloid‐βpeptide. The influence of environmental variables such as pH and temperature on aggregate nanostructure is

Density Functional Simulation of Spontaneous Formation of Vesicle in Block Copolymer Solutions [PDF]
, 2007 We carry out numerical simulations of vesicle formation based on the density functional theory for block copolymer solutions. It is shown by solving the time evolution equations for concentrations that a polymer vesicle is spontaneously formed from the ...

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...
