The diverse morphologies of aggregates formed by the self-assembly of block copolymers in selective solvents have attracted widespread attention, but the design of aggregate shapes is still limited owing to the thermodynamic favorability of sphere formation. In this paper, we report our discovery that polyhedral aggregates can be formed by the self...

Nonionic surfactants have been widely used in agri-sprays to enhance the solubility and mobility of pesticides, but what happens when pesticides become solubilized into surfactant micelles remains poorly characterized. To facilitate physical characterisations, we used the nonionic surfactant hexaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E6) as a model ...

Thorough knowledge of the biomolecular interactions between thermoresponsive polymers (TRPs) and proteins are necessary to fabricate potential materials for various bio-related science and technology applications. Although over the past four decades have evidenced that tremendous growth in the utilization of TRPs in the addition of various stimuli ...

To achieve precise control of nano-carrier structure and drug release behavior, we designed a pH/redox dual-responsive polymeric prodrug by condensation polymerization using octahedrally coordinated cisplatin (Pt IV) and ortho ester monomer. The prodrug was then self-assembled with doxorubicin (DOX) in aqueous solution to give a synergetic drug del...

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) as a visible-light photocatalyst is always restricted by rapid photoexcited electron-hole recombination. Hence, the construction of charge transfer path is an essential strategy to establish an efficient photocatalytic system. Notably, the nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) exhibit potential for application in phot...

The traditional Petri dish, which has not been changed in almost 60 years, has clear limitations when it is applied to cell cultures in a modern biological laboratory. In this work, by integrating the advantages of both the semidirect breath figure (sDBF) method and the traditional breath figure (BF) method, we proposed for the first time a novel h...

Flying in the rain presents a greater challenge for smaller animals such as kingfishers, compared with aircraft in the same situation. Regardless, kingfishers have developed advanced water repellency as reflected in the hydrophobicity and elasticity of their feathers. Therefore, it is possible to confirm that the elastic superhydrophobic surface ca...

With the aim of developing new drug carriers for inhalation therapy, we report here an in depth investigation of the structure of multilamellar liposomes loaded with two well-established anti-tubercular (anti-TB) drugs, isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF), by means of small-angle neutron-scattering (SANS) analysis. Unloaded, single drug-loaded and...

In this work, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) based chemically cross-linked hydrogels are used as novel precipitation and stabilization media for solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for the first time. The hydrogels and the hybrid thermoresponsive composite hydrogels with SLNs were characterized by SEM, DSC, DLS and rheometric analysis. The resul...
