Direct Determination of Chitosan–Mucin Interactions Using a Single-Molecule Strategy: Comparison to Alginate–Mucin Interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Aqueous chitosan possesses attractive interaction capacities with various molecular groups that can be involved in hydrogen bonds and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. In the present paper, we report on the direct ... -
Dynamic Light Scattering Based Microrheology of End-Functionalised Triblock Copolymer Solutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
Dynamic Light Scattering Based Microrheology of End-Functionalised Triblock Copolymer Solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Nano-sized particles functionalised with short single-stranded (ss)DNAs can act as detectors of complementary DNA strands. Here we consider tri-block-copolymer-based, self-assembling DNA-coated nanoparticles. The copolymers ... -
In situ synthesis of hybrid inorganic-polymer nanocomposites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hybrid inorganic–polymer nanocomposites can be employed in diverse applications due to the potential combination of desired properties from both the organic and inorganic components. The use of novel bottom–up in situ ... -
Mechanical properties of composite hydrogels of alginate and cellulose nanofibrils
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Alginate and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are attractive materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. CNF gels are generally weaker and more brittle than alginate gels, while alginate gels are elastic and ... -
Morpholino target molecular properties affect the swelling process of oligomorpholino-functionalized responsive hydrogels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Responsive hydrogels featuring DNA as a functional unit are attracting increasing interest due to combination of versatility and numerous applications. The possibility to use nucleic acid analogues opens for further ... -
Nanoparticle-hydrogel composites: From molecular interactions to macroscopic behavior
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Hydrogels are materials used in a variety of applications, ranging from tissue engineering to drug delivery. The incorporation of nanoparticles to yield composite hydrogels has gained substantial momentum over the years ... -
Role of protein self-association on DNA condensation and nucleoid stability in a bacterial cell model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Bacterial cells do not have a nuclear membrane that encompasses and isolates the genetic material. In addition, they do not possess histone proteins, which are responsible for the first levels of genome condensation in ...
