When evaluating soft self-assembling materials for use in any application, the structural or
morphological characterisation is highly important. We know that the hierarchal molecular …

Stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymers are ordered nanosized materials that are held
together by non-covalent interactions (hydrogen-bonding, metal-ligand coordination, π …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are widely used for drug delivery due to their controlled and sustained
drug release properties. In this paper, drug crystallization encapsulated liquid crystal …

The rational design of perfluorinated amphiphiles to control the supramolecular aggregation
in an aqueous medium is still a key challenge for the engineering of supramolecular …

The biomimetic nature of supramolecular systems, the structural similarity of synthetic
surfactants to biomolecules (lipids, proteins), provide them with high membranotropy, the …

We investigate the formation of lamellar gel networks (LGNs) composed of long-chain fatty
alcohols (C16, C18) and their mixture, combined with the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium …

It is well-established that oil-in-water creams can be stabilised through the formation of
lamellar liquid crystal structures in the continuous phase, achieved by adding (emulsifier) …

Liquid crystal (LC) emulsion is a new emulsion system which has excellent application
potential in the field of cosmetics. In this study, the LC emulsifier and traditional emulsifier …

Sunscreen lotions and creams are arguably the most popular products used to protect the
skin against harmful UV radiation. Several studies have been conducted to untangle the …

Humectants are used widely in topical formulations as they provide cosmetic and health
benefits to skin. Of particular interest to our laboratories is the interaction of humectants in …
