Investigations will be performed to determine the effect of composition on the internal structure of semi-solid oil-in-water emulsions designed to model the GlaxoSmithKline...

Surfactants represent an important class of compounds owing to their ability to readily locate at interfaces, be it air–liquid, liquid–liquid or solid–liquid. As such,...

One of the grand challenges in the physical sciences is fabricating materials with a defect-free controlled structure on the submicron scale. Realisation of this challenge will...

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a biocompatible water-soluble polymer of great interest thanks to its large-scale applications for production of drug-delivery systems, sensors or...

Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic...

Spina Bifida - “split spine” in Latin - is the most common birth defect with 0.2 % occurrence worldwide. It is due to foetus’ spine failing to close during the first month of...

Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for...

At high pH many low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are dispersed in solution. When a trigger is applied to lower the pH the gelator molecules self-assemble into one...
