Directional liquid gating by hydrophilic/hydrophobic Janus membranes

Tian X., Aalto University, FI

The ability to gate (i.e., allow or block) droplet and fluid transport in a directional manner represents an important form of liquid manipulation and has tremendous application potential in fields involving intelligent liquid management. We [...]

Polymersomes as model of transcytosis across Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB)

Tian X., Cantón I., Battaglia G., Univ of Sheffield, UK

In this work, two formulations kinds of diblock copolymers ((poly(2- methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine)-co-poly(2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate(PMPC25-‐PDPA70) and poly(ethylene glycol)-co-poly(2- (diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate)(PEO113-‐PDPA70))will be employed,blending them in series ratios in order to obtain the best morphology and size across the [...]
