Chitosan nanoparticles (Ch-NPs) have been extensively studied due to their wide applicability. The reverse micellar method has attracted special attention as a way to synthesize them, since it makes it possible to obtain ...

The impetus for the increasing interest in studying surface active ionic liquids (SAILs; ionic liquids with long-chain ""tails"") is the enormous potential for their applications, e.g., in nanotechnology and biomedicine. ...

In this work, we analyzed the behavior of Pluronic F127 through molecular dynamics simulations at the coarse-grain level, focusing on the micellar and lamellar phases. To this aim, two initial polymer conformations were ...

Aqueous micellar two-phase systems (AMTPS) using surfactants have been widely applied as an advantageous extraction technology for a wide range of (bio)molecules. When composed by two surfactants (the second one used as ...

The paper by Yu and Saupe on the first biaxial nematic phase created excitement for a number of reasons. Some theories of biaxial phases already existed, but experimental observation was still lacking. The phase was ...

The rate of intramolecular degradation of cephaclor, involving the attack of the amino group at C‐17 (N‐18) on the β‐lactam carbonyl, was increased up to 50‐fold by neutral (polyoxyethylene‐23 lauryl ether; Brij) and ...

The effect of temperature on the viscosities of cetyltrimethylammonium salts (CTA X, X =Br-, NO3-, Tosylate) in the presence of added salts is presented. It was found that plots of 1n of relative viscosity vs 1/T was linear ...

In order to investigate the effect of solar UV light on pharmacological compounds considered as emerging environmental pollutants, we studied the kinetic, mechanistic and toxicological aspects of the direct photolysis of ...
