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

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

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

A number of inherited disorders of cornification have been related to abnormal lipid metabolism. In the recessively inherited Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, defined by the triad of ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spasticity, fatty alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase deficiency has recently been reported. These patients
