From the beginning of life with the information-containing polymers until the present era of a plethora of water-based materials in health care industry and biotechnology, polyelectrolytes …
Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates represent a wide class of materials with applications ranging from coatings and adhesives to pharmaceutical technologies. They also underpin …
Polyelectrolyte complexes are omnipresent both in nature and in the technological world, including nucleotide condensates, biological marine adhesives, food stabilizers …
Liquid–liquid phase separation of disordered proteins has emerged as a ubiquitous route to membraneless compartments in living cells, and similar coacervates may have played a role …
Polyelectrolyte complexation is critical to the formation and properties of many biological and polymeric materials, and is typically initiated by aqueous mixing followed by fluid–fluid …
Biomacromolecules rely on the precise placement of monomers to encode information for structure, function, and physiology. Efforts to emulate this complexity via the synthetic control …
Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates of homologous (co) polyelectrolytes with a near-ideally random distribution of a charged and neutral ethylene oxide comonomer were synthesized …
Biomolecular condensates present in cells can fundamentally affect the aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins and play a role in the regulation of this process. While liquid-liquid …
