The self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using polymer-encapsulated inverse micelles was studied using a set of advanced X-ray techniques (i.e. XAFS, SAXS) in addition to DLS, UV-vis spectroscopy and TEM.
Graphene suspended in alveoli shows size-, oxidation- and curvature-dependent performance on extracting pulmonary surfactants (PS), further inducing the PS depletion and biophysical inhibition and starting formation of the PS corona.
Charged inverse micelles (CIMs) generated during a continuous polarizing voltage between electrodes in the model system of polyisobutylene succinimide in dodecane do not populate a diffuse double layer like CIMs present in equilibrium (regular CIMs), but instead end up in interface layers.
