While the bulk structure of a material determines its mechanical properties, its surface plays a key role when interactions with the environment are important. Nowadays materials in bio- and nanotechnology are required to possess very complex functionaliti ...
Hydrogels are cross-linked, water-swollen polymer networks. Hydrogels with high mechanical and viscous dissipation properties are of great interest for mechanically control drug release systems. Since hydrogels are 3D polymer network with high amount of wa ...
This paper reports on the cell uptake and trafficking properties of a series of non-covalent polymer-drug conjugates. These nanomedicines are composed of a poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) backbone functionalized with multiple copies of a drug. The ...
Rh NPs coated with a PVP-derived polymer, that combines several distinct protective interactions, exhibit superior thermal and catalytic stability compared to analogue NPs coated with PVP. ...
A series of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide based "polymeric ionic liquids" (PILs) as high molecular mass analogues of the corresponding imidazolium, ammonium and pyrrolidinium ionic liquids (ILs) was synthesized with high purity and fully characterized ...
A high penetration grade bitumen has been blended with up to 50 wt% of two different grades of metallocene catalyzed linear low density polyethylene (m-LLDPE) in order to investigate the potential of these and similar copolymers as a substitute for styrene ...
The pH-induced swelling and collapse of surface-tethered, weak polyelectrolyte brushes is of interest for the development of actuators or to allow pH controlled transport or adsorption. This contribution discusses results of an extensive series of quartz c ...
The residue-specific modification of peptides and proteins is a powerful strategy for preparing biomolecular-synthetic polymer conjugates with advanced properties. This manuscript aims at expanding the present toolbox of residue-selective protein modificat ...
The combination of ring closure and spatial constraints has a fundamental effect on the statistics of semiflexible polymers such as DNA. However, studies of the interplay between circularity and constraints are scarce and single-molecule experimental data ...
The polymer APFO3 was prepd. with different mol. wts. to study how the infiltration into nanoporous TiO2 films of different thickness depends on the size of the polymer. Also two different sizes of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated to understand the eff ...
