This study reports the first well-defined and stable nanomicelles (20−30 nm in diameter) self-assembled from amphiphilic brush (comb-like) cyclic and tadpole-shaped copolymers composed of hydrophobic ...

Micelles are spherical molecular structures usually formed by amphiphilic molecules with block structure, which contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. The hydrophobic tails of these molecules ...

It is generally assumed that polymeric micelles, upon administration into the blood stream, carry drug molecules until they are taken up into cells followed by intracellular release. The current work ...

Block copolymer micelles with well-defined core-shell structures significantly improve dye solubilization compared to random copolymers. This finding can lead to more efficient and cost-effective ...

Both structures comprise amphiphilic molecules with hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) components. This dual nature allows them to interact with water and lipids.

Detergents are commonly used throughout the biochemistry industry, but these tend to display complex behavior in aqueous solutions. Mass photometry is tool well suited to the study of biomolecules in ...
