Cationic amphiphilic model networks based on symmetrical ABCBA pentablock terpolymers: Synthesis, characterization, and modelling
(2007)Eight isomeric networks based on equimolar terpolymers were synthesized using group transfer polymerization (GTP) and were characterized in terms of their swelling properties. Two hydrophilic monomers, the nonionic methoxy ...

Cationic nanoparticles have superior transvascular flux into solid tumors: Insights from a mathematical model
(2013)Despite their great promise, only a few nanoparticle formulations have been approved for clinical use in oncology. The failure of nano-scale drugs to enhance cancer therapy is in large part due to inefficient delivery. To ...

Chiral Separations Using Polymeric Surfactants and Polyelectrolyte Multilayers in Open-Tubular Capillary Electrochromatography
(2003)In this study, fused-silica capillaries are modified using a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coating procedure in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography. The PEM coating was constructed in situ with alternating ...

Direct detection of Fe(IV)=O intermediates in the cytochrome aa3 oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans[H2O2 reaction
(2003)We report the first evidence for the formation of the "607- and 580-nm forms" in the cytochrome oxidase aa3/H2O2 reaction without the involvement of tyrosine 280. The pKa of the 607-580-nm transition is 7.5. The 607-nm ...

Hofmeister anion effects on surfactant self-assembly and the formation of mesoporous solids
(2002)Recent work on mesoporous silica formation using cationic and non-ionic templates has unveiled a large number of anion effects. Anions are seen to change the hydrolysis rates of the silicate precursors, affecting the surface ...

The ion-lipid battle for hydration water and interfacial sites at soft-matter interfaces
(2014)At charged surfaces "bound" ions reduce the repulsive electrostatic forces, while dissociated ions control the osmotic pressure in colloidal systems. For systems charged through ionic adsorption on the other hand, the ...

Open-tubular capillary electrochromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry using polymeric surfactant as a stationary phase coating
(2004)We describe the use of the polymeric surfactant poly(sodium undecylenic sulfate) (poly-SUS) as a stationary phase coating in open-tubular capillary electrochromatog raphy (OT-CEC) coupled with electrospray ionization-mass ...

Photochemistry of an azido-functionalized cryptand: Controlling the reactivity of an extremely long-lived singlet aryl nitrene by complexation to alkali cations
(2005)Photolysis of the cryptand 1, bearing an intraannular azido substituent, results in a complex photochemistry. Low-temperature photolysis yields the triplet nitrene 32, which has been characterized by EPR spectroscopy. Small ...

Studies on the interaction of olive cake and its hydrophylic extracts with polyvalent metal ions (Cu(II), Eu(III)) in aqueous solutions
(2009)The paper presents and discusses the chemical affinity of two different forms of natural organic matter (e.g. in solid (SOM) and soluble form (DOM)) for Cu2+ and Eu3+ ions. In the this study SOM is represented by olive ...
