Investigating liposome sensitivity towards phospholipases for applications in...
Liposomes are lipid-based, water-filled vesicles with wide-ranging applications in diagnostics and drug delivery. Phospholipases (PLs) are enzymes that cleave specific bonds in... -
Engineered anisotropic liposomes for drug delivery
It is well established that the anisotropy of nanoparticles has a dominant effect on increasing their uptake by cells. However, the advantage of anisotropy for cell penetration... -
Tuning morphology of nonionic highly-methylated surfactant/water/CO2 assemblies
This proposal aims to explore a cheaper and more environmental-benign surfactants for microemulsion formation in CO2; in other words, a low fluorine containing... -
Micellization in glycerol:choline chloride deep eutectic solvent
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable... -
The formation of water-in-supercritical carbon dioxide microemulsions using q...
For twenty years scientists have been searching for surfactants able to solubilise water nano-domains in supercritical carbon dioxide, scCO2 (as water-in-scCO2 microemulsions,...
