Polycationic brushes are attractive systems for the design of nanomaterials for gene delivery
as they enable rational design of their architecture with a broad range of grafting densities …

The formation of ordered 2D nanostructures of double stranded DNA molecules at various
interfaces attracts more and more focus in medical and engineering research, but the …

It is discovered that complexes of DNA and hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes form a
rigid network of threadlike or fibrous aggregates at the liquid–gas interface whose …

Physical stability control of vesicle/DNA complexes is a key issue for the development of
catanionic vesicles composed of ion pair amphiphile (IPA) as DNA carriers. In this work …

Disc-shaped bicelles are formed by mixing long-chain lipids with short-chain lipids at
suitable molar ratios and they have a relatively uniform size, typically around a few tens of …

The charge density of vesicular bilayers plays an important role in the structure characteristic
of the vesicle–DNA complex for gene delivery. In this work, the charge density effect of …

Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers of thiolated gold nanoparticles mixed with
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/sodium dodecyl sulfate (DPPC/SDS) were investigated by …

Although neutron reflectometry has been used to study surfaces and interfaces for decades,
recent advances in sample preparation and novel data analysis techniques have …

Using infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy, surface tensiometry and atomic force
microscopy it is demonstrated that a network of fibrous aggregates of DNA–cationic …

Binary blends of water-insoluble polymers are a versatile strategy to obtain nanostructured
films at the air–water interface. However, there are few reported structural studies of such …
