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
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

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

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
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
