Design of intrinsically disordered proteins that undergo phase transitions with lower critical solution temperatures

APL Materials, 2021
Many naturally occurring elastomers are intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) built up of repeating units, and they can demonstrate two types of thermoresponsive phase behavior.

Analysis of design elements in universal course shell templates of high-ranking universities

Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Despite popular myths related to the design and development of an online course, the endeavor is rather complicated. Universal Course Shell Templates (UCSTs) can alleviate teachers’ workload, support teachers in taking pedagogically sound decisions, and ...

Kinetics of Water Transfer Between the LCST and UCST Thermoresponsive Blocks in Diblock Copolymer Thin Films Monitored by In Situ Neutron Reflectivity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2023
The kinetics of water transfer between the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) thermoresponsive blocks in about 10 nm thin films of a diblock copolymer is monitored by in situ neutron reflectivity ...

Immunogenic-cell-killing and immunosuppression-inhibiting nanomedicine

Bioactive Materials, 2021
Combining chemo-therapeutics with immune checkpoint inhibitors facilitates killing cancer cells and activating the immune system through inhibiting immune escape. However, their treatment effects remain limited due to the compromised accumulation of both

Effect of Molecular Weight on Phase Equilibrium in the Polystyrene–Poly(methyl methacrylate) System

Molecules, 2023
Data on the solubility of oligomer polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) of various molecular weights have been obtained. The binodal and spinodal curves of the phase state diagram with the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) are ...
