The use of amphiphilic macrosurfactants as emulsifying agents has shown to have higher efficiency with respect to low molecular weight surfactants. Traditionally, block copolymers have been the first macromolecular systems ...

In this study, the antifungal activity of chitosan derivatives against A. flavus was studied to understand the contribution of the molecular mass (Mw) and of the hydrophobic and electrostatic forces to the inhibition of ...

Low molecular weight amphiphilic derivatives of chitosan were synthesized, characterized and their antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus were tested. The derivatives were synthesized ...

A series of oxidized carboxymethylcellulose-graft-poly(ethylene glycol)-dodecylamine (0CMC-g-PEG-DDA) was prepared by using an appositely prepared PEG with terminal amino groups and different amounts of DDA. The nanoaggregates ...

Conventional engineered polymers are strong, stable, and can interact desirably within the human body in implants and medical devices. However, bacterial colonization of medical devices and implants constructed from these ...

The adsorption behavior of several amphiphilic polyelectrolytes of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-styrene) functionalized with naphthyl and phenyl groups, onto amino-terminated silicon wafer has been studied by means of null- ...
