Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block...

Polymers with specific functional groups on their main chains or side chains can interact with each other either in solution or in bulk, forming interpolymer complexes, for...

Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of...

Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and...

This project concerns fundamental and strategically important research underlying the development of new drug delivery vehicles. We propose to sample phase diagram of...

It has been recently shown that reversible thermal folding-unfolding, stabilization and high solubility of proteins (e.g. lysozyme) can be achieved when dissolved in protic...

This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...
