We demonstrated that positive polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) have great potential for conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems because of the induction protein enrichment on ...

Electrostatic interactions and polyelectrolyte complexation can be used in the self-assembly of a wide range of responsive, bioinspired soft materials ranging from dehydrated thin films, fibers, and ...

A team of researchers from Pukyong National University discovered a simple method for creating polyelectrolytes and adjusting their properties to increase the efficiency of solar cells. These findings ...

For years, we've known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a "polyelectrolyte complex" helps your cells keep themselves organized. These complexes are very good at forming interfaces to ...

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are self-assembled materials formed by the electrostatic interaction of oppositely charged polymers. Their ability to undergo phase separation through coacervation has ...

The adsorption of organic molecules to interfaces is offering a variety of possibilities for the design of novel materials with structures defined on a nanometer scale. So-called ...

Previously, self-mending polymeric materials based on physical crosslinking or external stimuli – such as heat and light – have been successfully developed and employed for the mechanical recovery and ...

The zeta potential of polyethylenimine (PEI) is measured as a function of polymer concentration with the SZ-100 Nanoparticle Analyzer. There is a negative relationship between Zeta potential and ...

Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level, ...

Taiwanese researchers have added bathocuproine (BCP) molecules to three different kinds of solvents used in perovskite cells and have ascertained how this combination increases the carrier mobility ...
