We investigated the encapsulation of the model proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA),
human hemoglobin (Hb), and hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) into two-polymer complex …

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are highly tunable materials that result from the phase
separation that occurs upon mixing oppositely charged polymers. Over the years, they have …

In the inertial limit, the resonance frequency of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is
related to the coupled mass on the quartz sensor through the Sauerbrey expression that …

The properties of polyelectrolyte complexes, PECs, made from blended polycations, Pol+,
and polyanions, Pol–, are routinely studied under conditions where they are at least partially …

Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) or polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), formed by layer-by-
layer assembly or the mixing of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) in aqueous …

The combination of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) has been exploited to investigate the influence of temperature and …
