Synthetic polymer surfaces provide an excellent opportunity for developing materials with
inherent antimicrobial and/or biocidal activity, therefore representing an answer to the …

This article reviews the state of the art of the studies on charge regulation (CR) effects in
flexible weak polyelectrolytes (FWPE). The characteristic of FWPE is the strong coupling of …

Mixing of oppositely charged macromolecules can, under certain conditions, lead to the
formation of electrostatically cross-linked coacervate gels. In this simulation study, we …

We used Langevin dynamics simulations to study coarse-grained knotted copolyelectrolytes,
composed by a neutral and a charged segment, in solutions of different salt concentrations …

An analytical linearized mean-field theory is presented to describe the adsorption behavior
of polyelectrolytes near charged colloidal surfaces with additional short-ranged non …

Hypothesis The critical concentration above which micelles form from zwitterionic surfactant
solutions and their thermodynamic stability is affected by the interaction with weak Brønsted …

In this work, two compounds belonging to the BODIPY family, and previously investigated for
their photosensitizing properties, have been bound to the amino-pendant groups of three …

Decontaminating coating systems (DCSs) represent a challenge against pathogenic
bacteria that may colonize hospital surfaces, causing several important infections. In this …

The addition of molecular dopants into organic semiconductors (OSCs) is a ubiquitous
augmentation strategy to enhance the electrical conductivity of OSCs. Although the …

The presence of salts in a solution containing weak polyelectrolytes is known to modify both
their titration behavior and conformations due to electrostatic screening. Instead, little is …
