Micelles are spherical molecular structures usually formed by amphiphilic molecules with block structure, which contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. The hydrophobic tails of these molecules ...

The proposed strategy will lead to the development of various advanced micelle structures with tunable, on-demand cavity functions in water. Micelles assemble in water from amphiphilic molecules, ...

In oil recovery and fermentation, for example, foams are a byproduct. Whenever soapy water is agitated, foams are formed. They are mostly gas pockets separated by thin liquid films that often contain ...

Micelles play a crucial role in dispersing hydrophobic inks and drug in water-based solutions. Recently, researchers compared the dye solubilization capacities of micelles made from block and random ...

The amphiphilic nature of Pluronics enables them to self-assemble in aqueous solutions, forming core-shell micelles. This property is particularly valuable in drug delivery systems, where Pluronics ...

The Innovation Center of NanoMedicine (Director General: Prof. Kazunori Kataoka, Location: Kawasaki in Japan, Abbreviation: iCONM) reported in ACS Nano (Impact Factor: 14.588 in 2019) together with ...

Studies using in vitro analysis have shown that the interaction between pulmonary surfactant and vernix caseosa could explain the appearance of amniotic fluid turbidity. That phenomenon is interpreted ...

In a recent review published in Pharmaceuticals, researchers documented the various polymeric materials that can be used to synthesize micelles, which can then be used for targeted cancer therapy by ...
