Abstract: The coacervation of systems containing colloids (e.g. proteins or micelles) and polyelectrolytes (notably ionic polysaccharides) is often accompanied by precipitation. This can introduce inhomogeneity, irreversibility and irreproducible kinetics in applications in food science and bioengineering,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biomac.7b01353
Abstract: Anisotropic nanostructures, such as nanotubes, incorporating bioactive molecules present interesting features for application as drug delivery carriers. Here, we present the synthesis of layer-by-layer (LbL) nanotubes including protein (ovalbumin) layers and go from simple to… read more here.
