The adsorption of amphiphilic molecules of varying size on solid-liquid interfaces modulates
the properties of colloidal systems. Nonionic, poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO)-based amphiphilic …

Triblock copolymers (also known as Pluronics or poloxamers) are biocompatible molecules
composed of hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks with different lengths. They have received …

Mucilage from chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed contains carbohydrate polymers with high
solubility. It forms highly viscous solutions at low concentrations, and possesses the ability to …

The adsorption of a sunflower protein extract at two air–water and oil–water interfaces is
investigated using tensiometry, dilational viscoelasticity, and ellipsometry. For both …

Pump and treat of hydrocarbons from the subsurface is largely ineffective because capillary
forces impede hydrocarbon mobility. This study uses zein (corn protein) dissolved in water at …

This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding interfacial properties of
very complex biological colloids, specifically, human meibum and tear lipids, and their …

Cyclodextrins (CDs) have been extensively studied as drug delivery carriers through host–
guest interactions. CD-based poly (pseudo) rotaxanes, which are composed of one or more …

The RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of either methyl methacrylate (MMA) or benzyl
methacrylate (BzMA) is conducted at 70° C using poly (glycerol monomethacrylate)(PGMA) …

Gliadins are edible wheat storage proteins well known for their surface active properties. In
this paper, we present experimental results on the interfacial properties of acidic solutions of …

This study investigates the surface modification of hydrophilic silica nanoparticles by non-
chemical adsorption of an amphiphilic triblock copolymer, Pluronic F-127, and elucidates its …
