Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are highly tunable materials that result from the phase
separation that occurs upon mixing oppositely charged polymers. Over the years, they have …

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a well-established technique for studying
dynamic processes and interactions with minimal invasion into the corresponding system …

Mucus clearance is the primary defense mechanism that protects airways from inhaled
infectious and toxic agents. In the current gel-on-liquid mucus clearance model, a mucus gel …

We explore responsive properties of hollow multilayer shells of tannic acid assembled with a
range of neutral polymers, poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone)(PVPON), poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) …

Hydrogen-bonded multilayers of a neutral polymer (poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone), PVPON) with
poly (methacrylic acid)(PMAA) were used as templates to introduce cross-links between …

A study was made of the anti‐polyelectrolyte effect of a model polyzwitterion at the single‐
chain level and from the point of view of comparison with inorganic salts and organic inner …

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching has been applied to determine, to our
knowledge for the first time, the molecular weight (M w) dependence of lateral diffusion of …

Neutral temperature responsive polymers, such as poly (N-vinylcaprolactam)(PVCL) and
poly (vinyl methyl ether)(PVME), were included in ultrathin films using layer-by-layer …

Tailoring nanofibrous matrices—a material with much promise for wound healing
applications—to simultaneously mitigate bacterial colonization and stimulate wound closure …

This study explores the effect of salt on the diffusivity of polyelectrolytes of varied molecular
architecture in layer-by-layer (LbL) films in directions parallel and perpendicular to the …
