Self-assembling linear and star shaped poly (ε-caprolactone)/poly[(meth)acrylic acid] block copolymers as carriers of indomethacin and quercetin [PDF]
, 2013 A amphiphilic linear AB, BAB, and star shaped (AB)(3) block copolymers of poly(E-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(meth)acrylic acid (P(M)AA) are used for the preparation of nanoparticles and drug entrapment, where indomethacin and quercetin are employed as model

Toy amphiphiles on the computer: What can we learn from generic models?
, 2009 Generic coarse-grained models are designed such that they are (i) simple and (ii) computationally efficient. They do not aim at representing particular materials, but classes of materials, hence they can offer insight into universal properties of these ...

LL‐37 Driven Phase Transition and Stacking in Oligolamellar Gram‐Negative Bacterial Membrane Models
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work establishes oligolamellar bacterial membrane models to investigate how LL‐37 disrupts the complex dual‐bilayer architecture of Gram‐negative bacteria. Combining SAXS, cryo‐TEM, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and coarse‐grained simulations, it reveals cardiolipin‐driven phase transitions leading to bicelle‐like structures and membrane ...

A novel diblock copolymer of (monomethoxy poly [ethylene glycol]-oleate) with a small hydrophobic fraction to make stable micelles/polymersomes for curcumin delivery to cancer cells [PDF]
, 2014 Curcumin is a potent natural anticancer agent, but its effectiveness is limited by properties such as very low solubility, high rate of degradation, and low rate of absorption of its hydrophobic molecules in vivo.

Thermosensitive Polymeric Micelles for Targeted Drug Delivery [PDF]
Nanomedicine, 2011 Thermosensitive polymers are characterized by temperature-dependent aqueous solution properties. Below their lower critical solution temperature they are in an expanded state and fully dissolved, while above it they are dehydrated and insoluble. This has been exploited for the development of polymeric micelles that can be formed or destabilized ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are promising hole‐transporting materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), but suffer from self‐aggregation and poor large‐area uniformity. We find that interfacial modification using nicotinic hydrazide can eliminate the residual SAM aggregates by forming energetically favorable complexes, yielding uniform SAM.

Thermodynamics of micellization of oppositely charged polymers
, 2003 The complexation of oppositely charged colloidal objects is considered in this paper as a thermodynamic micellization process where each kind of object needs the others to micellize.

Synthesis of Fluorine-18 Functionalized Nanoparticles for use as in vivo Molecular Imaging Agents [PDF]
, 2008 Nanoparticles containing fluorine-18 were prepared from block copolymers made by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Using the fast initiating ruthenium metathesis catalyst (H_2IMes)(pyr)_2(Cl)_2Ru=CHPh, low polydispersity amphiphilic block ...
