Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and...

Block copolymer micelles have been used to encapsulate various chemotherapeutic drugs, which can be delivered to the tumour site using the so-called Enhanced Permeation and...

We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these...

SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is...

Low molecular weight gels are the result of the self-assembly of small molecules into fibres. These entangle to entrap the solvent. When the solvent is water, these are called...

Polymer electrolytes constitute a promising class of materials for rechargeable Li-batteries. The ionic conductivity behavior is dependent on the local morphology of the...

This proposal seachs time to establish the conditions under which electrospinning can be used to provide (non-equilibrium) mixtures of immiscible polymers. Such an outcome might...
