Emulsions that mix immiscible liquids are central to products from food to cosmetics. For instance, emulsions like mayonnaise mix liquids that don’t normally blend. They require added molecules called ...

Janus nanoparticles, characterised by their dual-faced surface chemistry, have garnered significant attention for their unique ability to mediate interfacial phenomena. Their asymmetry allows them to ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

Researchers have developed an original method -- soft-confinement pattern-induced nanoparticle segregation (SCPINS) -- to fabricate polymer nanocomposite thin films with well-controlled nanoparticle ...

It can also rapidly predict the crystal structure of polytypic nanoparticles. In addition, it is expected that the new analysis method developed by the research team is the new analytical method that ...

The same properties that make engineered nanoparticles attractive for numerous applications – they are as small as a virus, biologically and environmentally stable, and water-soluble – also cause ...
