Prolamins are a group of safe food additives that are biocompatible, biodegradable, and
sustainable. Zein, gliadin, kafirin, and hordein are common prolamins that have been …

The addition of small amounts of a secondary fluid to a suspension can, through the
attractive capillary force, lead to particle bridging and network formation. The capillary …

Photonic supraballs have been designed by evaporation-induced crystallization of colloidal
particles confined in emulsion droplets for various applications. However, it has been a …

Protein aggregates, formed from the assembly of aberrant, misfolded proteins, are a
hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Disease-associated aggregates such as mutant …

This contribution describes a synthetic strategy for the fabrication of multicomponent
colloidal “molecules” with controllable complex morphologies and compositionally distinct …

Recently, nanoparticles have been extensively developed as controlled-release carriers;
however, there has been little research on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) and their …
