The development of biotechnological protocols based on cationic surfactants is a modern
trend focusing on the fabrication of antimicrobial and bioimaging agents, supramolecular …

The use of surfactants in polymerization reactions is particularly important, mainly in
emulsion polymerizations. Further, micelles from biocompatible surfactants find use in …

The transfection efficiency of a material into cells is directly related to the success rate of
gene therapy. Synthetic lipid-like molecules, comparable with the components of biological …

Three novel peptidomimetic cationic surfactants were synthesized in good yields. The
chemical configurations of these surfactants were clarified using 1 H, 13 C NMR and FT-IR …

Nucleic acids are a special class of negatively charged polymers, and they can complex with
cationic small molecules and polymers to form polyelectrolyte complexes of rich …

Fluorescence-based nucleic acid assays frequently exhibit a feeble signal at low analyte
concentrations, necessitating complex, expensive methods such as the development of …

Solutions of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and surfactants have been widely studied
for a variety of applications; they play an important role in the formulation of personal care …

Herein, for the first time the complexation ability of a homological series of
triphenylphosphonium surfactants (TPPB-n) toward DNA decamers has been explored …

Arranging dense donors around a single acceptor for the assembly of efficient light‐
harvesting antennas is a long‐standing challenge due to the intractable aggregation …

Self-organization of hydroxyethylated gemini surfactants with different spacer fragments 16-s-
16 (OH)(s= 4, 6, 10, and 12) was studied in single solutions and in binary surfactant …
