Interaction of gramicidin D (gD) and chlorhexidine (CH) with the surfactant monolayers of bicontinuous microemulsions. Abstract The utility of bicontinuous microemulsions (BMEs) as carriers of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) gramicidin D and antiseptic chlorhexidine was investigated for possible topical delivery to chronic wounds.

Nanoarchitectonics of Polymers at Interfaces
This review discusses the research trends in the construction of functional polymer materials, focusing on nanoarchitectonics and interface technology. In particular, it introduces recent examples of the Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) method, layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly, and on‐surface synthesis.

Kinetically Frozen Rheology of Agar‐agar Hydrogels Upon a Change of Anions in the Hofmeister Series
The storage moduli of agar‐agar hydrogels is strongly decreased at high ionic strength when NaSCN is used as an electrolyte in comparison with NaCl. However, when hydrogels are prepared in the presence of either NaCl or NaSCN and subsequently exposed to a solution containing the other electrolyte (at the same ionic strength), the storage modulus is not

A Comparison of Bead‐Spring and Site‐Binding Models for Weak Polyelectrolytes
This study compares a site‐binding model with an implicit salt solution treatment to an explicit bead‐spring model to obtain titration curves of small weak polyelectrolytes. The implicit model accurately predicts ionization profiles in weak coupling (small Bjerrum lengths) but overestimates ionization correlations among acid groups in strong coupling ...
