Engineering Compartmentalized Biomimetic Micro- and Nanocontainers [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2017 Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it ...

Anti-corrosive Polystyrene Coatings Modified with Tannic Acid on Zinc and Steel Substrates
Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering, 2022 Polystyrene (PS) polymer layers were prepared and studied as anti-corrosive barrier layers on both carbon steel and zinc substrates. To increase the corrosion resistance of the coatings, two different approaches were considered: (i) the use of ...

Block Copolymer Nanocontainers
ACS Nano, 2010 Using cell dynamics computer simulation, we perform a systematic study of thin block copolymer films around a nanoparticle. Lamellar-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers are investigated with respect to different film thicknesses, particle radii, and boundary conditions at the film interfaces.

Polymer Nanocontainers for Intracellular Delivery [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019 AbstractCarriers for intracellular delivery are required to overcome limitations of therapeutic agents such as low specificity, systemic toxicity, high clearance rate, and low therapeutic index. Nanocontainers comprised of an aqueous core and a polymer shell have received increasing attention because they readily combine stimuli response to improve ...
