Real-Time Dynamic Hologram of a 3D Object with Fast Photochromic Molecules
Researchers have achieved the real-time dynamic holographic movie of a 3D object
Molecular Polymer Brushes in Nanomedicine
In a recent Talent article, Markus Müllner highlights the diverse applications of molecular polymer brushes in nanomedicine.
Lighting up enzymatic drug release by FRET
A new generation of enzyme-responsive HPMA copolymer-drug conjugates employing a enzyme-sensitive oligopeptide linker was developed. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was applied to investigate the enzyme-responsive performance in both cells and animals.
Shape-Shifting Polymer Circles in on Itself
New triblock copolymer micelles undergo controllable morphological changes from rod-like to toroidal.
Casting light on a photocleavable monomer
Using light to mediate the polymerization offers unique advantages over conventional polymerization methods.
UV and visible light cationic photoinitiators – an overview
There are many economic, environmental and production benefits related to using light as a trigger for processes.
Coming Unstuck: Versatile Heat-Reversible Adhesives for Debonding on Demand
Adhesives and glues are essential in a wide range of applications in modern life, from buildings to vehicles, and mobile devices to biomedical applications.
Precipitation “on demand” – towards surfactant-free nanoparticles
Researchers from Germany introduce acid-triggered precipitation which facilitates the removal of surfactant fragments from nanoparticles simplifying the purification and enabling nanoparticle precipitation “on demand.”
