The oral administration of therapeutic peptides and proteins is favoured from a patient and
commercial point of view. In order to reach the systemic circulation after oral administration …

From small molecules to entire organisms, evolution has refined biological structures at the
nanoscale, microscale and macroscale to be chiral—that is, mirror dissymmetric. Chirality …

Silver nanoparticles have demonstrated a wide range of applications derived from shape
and size control which is a crucial factor to improve antimicrobial, physical, and chemical …

Due to the continuous depletion of crude oils in the reserves, and continuous rise in energy
demand, there is currently a widespread interest in various methods of chemical enhanced …

Gemini surfactants consist of two cationic monomers of a surfactant linked together with a
spacer. The specific structure of a cationic gemini surfactant is the reason for both its high …

Surfactant injection into a depleted hydrocarbon reservoir is one of the ways to reduce
residual oil saturation, thereby enhancing crude oil production. However, surfactants …

Lipopeptides are amphiphilic peptides in which an aliphatic chain is attached to either the C
or N terminus of peptides. Their self-assembly—into micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, fibres or …

Résumé Surfactant use throughout mankind is extensive, from their initial applications as
detergents extending to use in medicine, lubricant, cosmetics and even enhanced oil …

The development of biotechnological protocols based on cationic surfactants is a modern
trend focusing on the fabrication of antimicrobial and bioimaging agents, supramolecular …

Cationic and ionizable cationic lipids are broadly applied as auxiliary agents, but their use is
associated with adverse effects. If these excipients are rapidly degraded to endogenously …
