Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices
and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology …

Rapid development of computer power during the last decade has made molecular
simulations of lipid bilayers feasible for many research groups, which, together with the …

The self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic comb-like graft copolymers bearing pH-
responsive hydrophilic side-chains on hydrophobic backbone in a selective solvent is …

It is increasingly recognized that the investigation of the rotational motion of geometric
nanoparticles in the cellular internalization process is significant to understand certain …

The real-space two-dimensional self-consistent field theory (SCFT) is employed to study the
free energies of micelles and vesicles constituted by binary amphiphilic diblock copolymer …

Solvent-free soft coarse-grained models are particularly appropriate to investigate collective
phenomena in lipid membranes. In this work we exploit such a model to show how …

In the first part of the thesis, the molecular structure and electronic properties of
phospholipids at the single molecule level and also for a monolayer structure are …

Lipid vesicles are ideal drug delivery carriers due to their small size, biocompatibility, non-
toxic behaviour and ability to transport hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. Although the …
