Multi-scale coarse-graining of diblock copolymer self-assembly: from monomers to ordered micelles

open access: yes, 2006
Starting from a microscopic lattice model, we investigate clustering, micellization and micelle ordering in semi-dilute solutions of AB diblock copolymers in a selective solvent.

Chitosan-g-oligo(epsilon-caprolactone) polymeric micelles: microwave-assisted synthesis and physicochemical and cytocompatibility characterization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
With the aim to produce mucoadhesive polymeric micelles for drug administration by mucosal routes, chitosan-g-oligo(epsilon-caprolactone) copolymers were synthesized by the microwave-assisted ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone using ...

Microsphere Autolithography—A Scalable Approach for Arbitrary Patterning of Dielectric Spheres

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable patches via a conformal poly(dopamine) photoresist. Nearly arbitrary surface patterns can be achieved, with the resolution set by the index contrast between ...

Mesoporous Carbon Thin Films with Large Mesopores as Model Material for Electrochemical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous carbon thin films possessing 70 nm mesopores are prepared on titanium substrates by soft templating of resol resins with a self‐synthesized poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(hexyl acrylate) block copolymer. A strategy to avoid corrosion of the metal substrate is presented, and the films are extensively characterized in terms of morphology ...

Protein-Polyelectrolyte Complexes and Micellar Assemblies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this review, we highlight the recent progress in our understanding of the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies. Protein-polyelectrolyte complexes form the basis of the genetic

Synergistic Combination of Tamoxifen–Tetraphenylethylene Co‐Assembled Micelles and Orlistat‐Induced Lipid Droplet Inhibition to Overcome Tamoxifen Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Molecule 2, which contains a shorter oligoether chain, binds to tamoxifen via structural similarity forming micelles with a positive surface charge, thereby enhancing cellular uptake. These fluorescent micelles induce lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, exhibit strong fluorescence, and effectively overcome tamoxifen resistance by synergizing with orlistat‐

Molecular Simulations of Polymer‐based Drug Nanocarriers: From Physical and Structural Properties to Controlled Release

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based drug delivery systems can effectively overcome the limitations of free drugs in terms of solubility, stability, and plasma half‐life, yet their development has traditionally relied on time‐consuming trial‐and‐error approaches. This review highlights recent advances in applying molecular simulation to the design of polymer‐based drug ...

Effect of percentage of methanol on micellization position of mixed surfactant interaction in the absence and presence of dye

open access: yesResults in Chemistry
The interaction behavior of mixed surfactant-dye systems, i.e., anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), and dye methyl orange (MO) was investigated through the allocation of micelles using ...

Whey- and Soy Protein Isolates Added to a Carrot-Tomato Juice Alter Carotenoid Bioavailability in Healthy Adults

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
Recent findings suggested that proteins can differentially affect carotenoid bioaccessibility during gastro-intestinal digestion. In this crossover, randomized human trial, we aimed to confirm that proteins, specifically whey- and soy-protein isolates ...

Self-Assembly in Mixtures of Polymers and Small Associating Molecules

open access: yes, 2000
The interaction between a flexible polymer in good solvent and smaller associating solute molecules such as amphiphiles (surfactants) is considered theoretically.
