Mucoadhesion and mucus-sensitive materials have many applications. Redundant chain-ends within branched polymer emulsifiers have been functionalized with thiols, without compromising emulsion stability, to create mucus-interacting emulsions.
Gold nanoparticles, or colloidal gold (AuNP), represent one of the most significant and established forms of sub-micron inorganic structures to be researched in recent years. AuNP physical and chemical properties...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
