Entropy of Charge Inversion in DNA including One-Loop Fluctuations

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
The entropy and charge distributions have been calculated for a simple model of polyelectrolytes attached to the surface of DNA using a field-theoretic method that includes fluctuations to the lowest one-loop order beyond mean-field theory.

Physical Chemistry Study of Collagen-Based Multilayer Films

open access: yesGels, 2023
The surface properties of a biomaterial play an important role in cell behavior, e.g., recolonization, proliferation, and migration. Collagen is known to favor wound healing. In this study, collagen (COL)-based layer-by-layer (LbL) films were built using

Adsorption of Xylan onto Cellulose Fibers Pretreated with Cationic Polyelectrolyte and Its Effect on Paper Properties

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
Xylan is known as a strength-enhancing agent for paper. However, it is difficult to adsorb xylan onto cellulose fibers because it carries the same negative charge as fibers. Therefore, either cationization of xylan or addition of cationic polyelectrolyte

Effects of Chitosan Molecular Weight and Degree of Deacetylation on Chitosan−Cellulose Nanocrystal Complexes and Their Formation

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
This study was conducted to determine the effects of chitosan molecular weight and degree of deacetylation (DD) on chitosan–cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) polyelectrolyte–macroion complexes (PMCs) and their formation.
