A Antonelli et al.
Nanotechnology, 21(42), 425101-425101 (2010-09-23)
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) due to their unique structural and physicochemical properties, have been proposed as delivery systems for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. However, SWNTs have proven difficult to solubilize in aqueous solution, limiting their use in
Laura Carreto et al.
Biophysical journal, 82(1 Pt 1), 530-540 (2001-12-26)
As a model for the epicuticular wax layer of plant cuticular membranes, we have studied the phase behavior of 1-tetradecanol and 1-octadecanol and their binary mixtures between 5 and 70 degrees C, using differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared
Sylvie Roke et al.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 103(36), 13310-13314 (2006-08-30)
We investigate the phase behavior of surface-functionalized silica colloids at both the molecular and macroscopic levels. This investigation allows us to relate collective properties such as aggregation, gelation, and aging directly to molecular interfacial behavior. By using surface-specific vibrational spectroscopy

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 127(20), 7296-7297 (2005-05-19)
Hydrophobically assisted switching phase (HASP) synthesis is a concept that allows the choice between the advantages of solid-supported chemistry and those of solution-phase synthesis. Starting from the examination of adsorption and desorption properties of hydrophobic molecules to and from reversed-phase
