Adsorption of the natural protein surfactant Rsn-2 onto liquid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-02-27)
To stabilize foams, droplets, and films at liquid interfaces nature has evolved a range of protein biosurfactants. Compared to synthetic surfactants, these combine surface activity with biocompatibility and low solution ...
Design principles for the formation of ordered patterns in binary mixtures of colloidal particles on spherical droplets
(Elsevier, 2017-03-11)
We elucidate the design principles for the formation of ordered structures formed by binary mixtures of particles on spherical surfaces, such as emulsion droplets, polymer vesicles, and col- loidal nanoparticles. Using ...
CO2-responsive polyacrylamide copolymer vesicles with acid-sensitive morpholine moieties and large hydrophobic RAFT end-group
(Elsevier, 2017-10-07)
Sequential Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerizations using 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride (VA-044) and 2-(dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic acid ...
Adsorption and conformations of lysozyme and α-lactalbumin at a water-octane interface
(AIP Publishing, 2017-11)
As proteins contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids, they will readily adsorb onto interfaces between water and hydrophobic fluids such as oil. This adsorption normally causes changes in the protein structure, ...
