Degradation versus self-assembly of block copolymer micelles
A. Muratov and V. A. Baulin Langmuir, 28, 3071-3076 (2012) The stability of micelles self-assembled from block co-polymers can be altered by the degradation of the blocks. Slow degradation shifts the

Anti-bacterial surfaces inspired by cicada and dragonfly wings
Many surfaces found in nature possess sophisticated topographical structures which provide them with exceptional properties. Nano-structured surface of lotus leafs efficiently repel water, microscopic
Cyclodextrins and their applications
Cyclodextrins can complexate with polymers and thus can be grafted to surfaces. Grafted layers of sliding polymers are constructed from polymers threading through ring-like molecules grafted to a
Translocation of nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and polymers through bilayers
Cell membranes represent a serious protective barrier for external molecules, proteins, nanoparticles and drugs. This barrier is quite efficient in protecting the interior of the cells. However, large
