Single chain nano particles (SCNPs) are model system to decipher intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we have probed the effect of salt/polymer concentration, cross link density, and charge density. Poly-l-lysine-SCNPs (PLL-SCNPs) prepared by tuning intramolecular crosslinking, solvent condition and ionic strength. Structural result show that radius of gyration of PLL-SCNP lowers by...
In dilute aqueous solution, diblock copolymers with a hydrophobic and a thermo-responsive block self-assemble into core-shell micelles. Here, we present the self-assembly behavior of the diblock copolymer PMMA-b-PNIPAM consisting of a short hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) and a long thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) block. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering reveals...
The market for plant-based food alternatives is growing. One group of these plant-based alternatives are emulsions. Plant-based emulsions have been in the scientific focus for a decade focusing on their stability, or their interfacial stabilization processes. One representative of plant-based emulsifiers are green biomass proteins like RuBisCo. Research questions about details in interfacial...
