Synthetic polymers are omnipresent in society as textiles and packaging materials, in
construction and medicine, among many other important applications. Alternatively, natural …

Imidazolium-based poly (ionic liquids)(PILs) belong to a subclass of polyelectrolytes
characterised by a combination of a series of intrinsic ionic liquids features, spatial …

One constrain in the use of micellar carriers as drug delivery systems (DDSs) is their low
stability in aqueous solution. In this study “tree-shaped” copolymers of general formula …

The chemical composition and molecular structure of polymeric surfaces are important in
understanding wetting, adhesion, and friction. Here, we combine interface-sensitive sum …

In this work, we performed titration simulations of weak linear polyelectrolytes via the Monte
Carlo method and the constant pH ensemble aiming to understand how polyelectrolyte …

Stereoregularity of polymers is known to influence their physicochemical and functional
properties in the bulk form. Recent studies have also provided evidence for the effect of …

In order to explore the influence of polymer microstructure and stereochemistry in biological
settings, the synthesis, micellization, cellular fate and the use in paclitaxel formulations of …

Hypothesis Adsorption of weak polyelectrolytes onto charged nanoparticles, and concurrent
effects such as spatial partitioning of ions may be influenced by details of the polyelectrolyte …

What is the impact of reducing the space available to molecules onto their properties is a
fundamental question for capillary systems, molecular biology and transport, protein and …

The influence of tacticity on chain dimensions, backbone and side-group conformational
states and relaxation dynamics, intermolecular hydrogen bonding and its relaxation …
