Researchers have successfully developed a rapid and scalable evaporation-induced method to create continuous, uniform thin ...

A micelle is the cluster or aggregated particles formed by associated colloids (substances which, at high concentration, behave as colloidal solutions due to formation of micelles) in solution. A ...

(Nanowerk News) The first high-resolution view of micellar bundles formed from a solution of wormlike micelles has been made possible by sample preparation techniques developed at EMSL and EMSL’s ...

This study reports the first well-defined and stable nanomicelles (20−30 nm in diameter) self-assembled from amphiphilic brush (comb-like) cyclic and tadpole-shaped copolymers composed of hydrophobic ...

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. Surfactants orient themselves at the air-water interface so that the hydrophilic part is in water and the ...

The solution self-assembly of macromolecular amphiphiles offers an efficient, bottom-up strategy for producing well-defined nanocarriers, with applications ranging from drug delivery to nanoreactors.

Ionic-nonionic surfactant mixtures have been characterized quite well using a variety of techniques individually and in combination over the last decade. Interest in these surfactant systems stems ...

In a recent pharmacology study, it was discovered that nanomicelles are capable of delivering poorly water-soluble drugs as well as the protection of drug molecules. Nanomicelles are typically ...

In dairy emulsions such as ice cream, milk and cream liqueurs, the particle size of fat droplets has a direct effect on various properties such as whip ability, stability, and mouthfeel, which are ...
