Gas-tight triblock-copolymer membranes are converted to CO2 permeable by insertion of plant aquaporins [PDF]

, 2012
We demonstrate that membranes consisting of certain triblock-copolymers were tight for CO2. Using a novel approach, we provide evidence for aquaporin facilitated CO2 diffusion.

Structure–property relationships in ABC-type polymer carriers: exploring drug loading and release behavior via dissipative particle dynamics simulation [PDF]

RSC Advances
The topological architecture of polymer carriers is a critical determinant of their drug loading capacity and release characteristics. This study employed dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations to systematically investigate the drug distribution
