In this study, we report the detailed characterization of phytantriol-based cubosomes
submitted to stressing processes, such as lyophilization and extrusion. Lyophilization (or …

Researches on the bolaamphiphiles have attracted considerable attentions in the last three
decades. Among which, the mixed systems with conventional surfactants are of special …

A yolk–mesoporous shell Si@ SiO2 nanohybrid (YMSSN) with void space between the Si
core and the SiO2 outer shell up to tens of nanometers has been prepared in this work by a …

Single-tailed short-chain alkyl keto-acids/salts, a class of fatty acid/salt derivatives, such as
sodium 2-ketooctanate (KOCOONa), are a kind of weakly acid/salt type amphiphiles and …

Numerous methods have been reported for the preparation of liposomes, many of which, in
addition to requiring time-consuming preparative steps and the use of organic solvents …

Introduction: Diabetes is a pandemic disease that causes relevant ocular pathologies.
Diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, cataracts, glaucoma, or keratopathy strongly impact …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was used to quantify the ion mixture effect of seawater (SW),
particularly the contribution of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ as dominant divalent cations, on the …

A photo-responsive azobenzene dye, sodium 4-[(E)-phenyldiazenyl] benzoate (AZONa),
was employed to induce microstructural changes with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide …

Extracellular proteins devoid of signal peptides use nonclassical secretion mechanisms for
their export. These mechanisms are independent of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi …

Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-a simple single tailed surfactant (STS) can form stable
