Amphiphilic block copolymer micelles can mimic the ability of natural lung surfactant to
reduce the air–water interfacial tension close to zero and prevent the Laplace pressure …

In the pursuit of the development of a first-in-kind polymer lung surfactant (PLS) therapeutic
whose effects are biophysical in nature, a comprehensive understanding of the factors …

Hypothesis: The surface mechanical properties of poly (styrene)-poly (ethylene glycol)(PS–
PEG) micelles are influenced by the PEG corona structure. Changes in micelle aggregation …

At the air/water interface, amphiphilic block copolymers are well-known to form typical
surface micelles composed of hydrophobic block cores and hydrophilic block coronas …

Isotherms of monolayers of poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) and polystyrene (PS) triblock
copolymers spread at the air/water interface were obtained by film balance technique. In a …

Lung surfactant has been observed at all surfaces of the airway lining fluids and is an
important contributor to normal lung function. In the conducting airways, the surfactant film …

Monolayers of a polystyrene− poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS− PMMA) diblock copolymer at
the air− water interface were studied by measuring the surface pressure− area isotherms at …

Using surface quasi-elastic light scattering (SLS), we have studied the monolayer behavior
of diblock copolymers A− B, where the A block is polystyrene (PS, surface inactive and water …

We have studied the surface micelle formation of polystyrene-b-poly (2-vinyl pyridine)(PS-b-
P2VP) at the air-water interface. A series of four PS-b-P2VPs were synthesized by anionic …

Unequivocal dependence of bioinertness of self-assembled monolayers of methoxy-tri
(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanethiol (EG3-OMe SAMs) on their packing density has …
