The proposed strategy will lead to the development of various advanced micelle structures with tunable, on-demand cavity functions in water. Micelles assemble in water from amphiphilic molecules, ...

Micelles play a crucial role in dispersing hydrophobic inks and drug in water-based solutions. Recently, researchers compared the dye solubilization capacities of micelles made from block and random ...

In oil recovery and fermentation, for example, foams are a byproduct. Whenever soapy water is agitated, foams are formed. They are mostly gas pockets separated by thin liquid films that often contain ...

The amphiphilic nature of Pluronics enables them to self-assemble in aqueous solutions, forming core-shell micelles. This property is particularly valuable in drug delivery systems, where Pluronics ...

In a recent review published in Pharmaceuticals, researchers documented the various polymeric materials that can be used to synthesize micelles, which can then be used for targeted cancer therapy by ...

Studies using in vitro analysis have shown that the interaction between pulmonary surfactant and vernix caseosa could explain the appearance of amniotic fluid turbidity. That phenomenon is interpreted ...

The Innovation Center of NanoMedicine (Director General: Prof. Kazunori Kataoka, Location: Kawasaki in Japan, Abbreviation: iCONM) reported in ACS Nano (Impact Factor: 14.588 in 2019) together with ...

While molecues with a single cavity have been extensively studied in solution, the solution state functions of polycavity materials remain elusive owing to their synthetic inaccessibility. Porous ...
