Biofouling is a longstanding problem for biomedical devices, food storage, and marine
equipment. Traditional antifouling strategies involve the use of biocidal agents, low surface …

This review focuses on key topics in the field of drug delivery related to the design of
nanocarriers answering the biomedicine criteria, including biocompatibility, biodegradability …

Three ester-containing cationic gemini surfactants, two with decanoyl chains and either a
three-carbon or a six-carbon spacer unit and one with dodecanoyl chains and a three …

Surfactants play an essential role in the field of metal corrosion inhibition by adsorption. In
this work, novel Schiff base-based cationic Gemini surfactants were synthesized, purified …

Characterized by a regular porosity in terms of pore size and pore network arrangement,
ordered mesoporous solids have attracted increasing interest in the last two decades. These …
