Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on...

Liposomes are lipid-based, water-filled vesicles with wide-ranging applications in diagnostics and drug delivery. Phospholipases (PLs) are enzymes that cleave specific bonds in...

Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs), our current knowledge of how NPs interact with the human body or the environment remains limited. Of a number of mechanisms, a...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological...

Gradient and block copoly(2-oxazoline)s have been prepared comprising a partially deuterated hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) part and a hydrogenated...

Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and...

Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent...
