Synthesis and Study of the Properties of Amphiphilic Poly-N-Vinylpyrrolidone with Terminal Thioalkyl Groups [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2019 Poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone-based amphiphilic polymers, which can be used as drug carriers, were prepared by radical polymerization with a thiol-type chain transfer agent. The polymers did not contain sequences of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fragments in the

Shape characteristics of the aggregates formed by amphiphilic stars in water: dissipative particle dynamics study [PDF]
, 2017 We study the effect of the molecular architecture of amphiphilic star polymers on the shape of aggregates they form in water. Both solute and solvent are considered at a coarse-grained level by means of dissipative particle dynamics simulations.

Micelle Formation and the Hydrophobic Effect [PDF]
, 2004 The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint that frustrates ...
