E5880, a novel platelet activating factor receptor antagonist, was dispersed in water for the preparation of injectable formulation and the physicochemical properties of the micelles were characterized. The critical concentration for formation of micelles was 0.12 mM. Using the area per molecule results, the critical packing parameter was calculated and showed that the structure was composed of...

The behavior of pr imary, secondary, tert iary and quaternary dodecylammonium chloride and bromide in benzene and toluene was investigated by surface tension measurements , the dye-solubilizafion and iodine-complex formation method and vapor pressure osmometry a t 37 ° and 50°C. The smooth cont inui ty in the measured properties of these solutions as a function of concentration has been interpr...

Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phase...

A "multisegment amphiphile" has been synthesized by covalently connecting two well known building blocks, a gelator and a micelle forming surfactant. Self-assembly results in the formation of compartmentalized nano-object displaying properties inherited from both parents.

The design of crosslinking domains is a vital factor to create functional hydrogels with controlled physical, mechanical, and adhesive properties. This paper demonstrates versatile synthetic systems micelle-crosslinked highly stretchable, self-healing, selectively For this, methacrylate-bearing random copolymer micelles are designed as physical covalent crosslink via the self-assembly amphiphil...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are characterized by their heterogeneity in composition, structure, and biological properties. In addition to the major structural protein apolipoprotein A1, HDL proteomes and lipidomes show great diversity. Such constituents presumably carry out the multitude of HDL functions, for example, reverse cholesterol transport, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, a...
