Synergistic effects in mixed micellization between natural and synthetic block copolymers

Portnaya I., Khalfin R., Kesselman E., Danino D., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

Amphiphilic block copolymers and mixtures of amphiphiles find broad applications in numerous nano-technologies. In our previous study, we showed that interactions between a biological charged diblock copolymer, beta-casein, and a synthetic uncharged triblock copolymer, Lutrol [...]

Fluoropolymer Nanofibers (VDF-TFE 5 mol%) by Electrospinning

Khalfin R., Cohen Y., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) with 5 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (VDF-TFE), is known to have the same crystal structure as pure PVDF as well as similar unique electrical properties. The β-phase of this polymers has strong [...]
