Double-layered micellar interpolyelectrolyte complexes—how many shells to a core?

Temperature-induced structure switch in thermo-responsive micellar interpolyelectrolyte complexes: toward core-shell-corona and worm-like morphologies.

The spontaneous formation and thermo-responsiveness of a colloidally-stable interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) based on a linear temperature-sensitive diblock copolymer poly(vinyl sulfonate)31-b-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)27 (PVS31-b-PNIPAM27) and a star-shaped quaternized miktoarm polymer poly(ethylene oxide)114-(poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)17)4 (PEO114-(qPDMAEMA17)4) was invest...

Many - Layered Learning 1

We explore incremental assimilation of new knowledge by sequential learning. Of particular interest is how a network of many knowledge layers can be constructed in an on-line manner, such that the learned units represent building blocks of knowledge that serve to compress the overall representation and facilitate transfer. We motivate the need for many layers of knowledge, and we advocate seque...

Organic/inorganic double-layered shells for multiple cytoprotection of individual living cells.

The cytoprotection of individual living cells under in vitro and daily-life conditions is a prerequisite for various cell-based applications including cell therapy, cell-based sensors, regenerative medicine, and even the food industry. In this work, we use a cytocompatible two-step process to encapsulate Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a highly uniform nanometric (<100 nm) shell composed of organic...
