Sentences with phrase «micelle structure»

In our earlier works involving water droplets coated with hydrocarbon chains (12C, dodecanoic acid) we found that these particles prefer an inverted micelle structure with an aqueous core and a hydrophobic surface.

Vivek Vasantha at A * STAR Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences — together with scientists from across Singapore under the Innovative Marine Antifouling Solutions (IMAS) program — developed a new block copolymer that can self - assemble into spherical micelle structures in which one monomer forms the core and the other forms the outer shell.

As more water was removed, these so - called micelles joined together to form larger gel - like structures ranging between 100 and 200 nanometers in diameter.

Earlier techniques for producing polymeric micelles with linear block co-polymers have been limited by the stability of the structures and by the consistency of the nanocrystals they produce, Lin said.

Above a certain concentration, they spontaneously form the structures that are called micelles.

Micelles are tiny ring - like structures formed by surfactants.

When heat or acid is used to separate casein out of milk, the micelle's structures are altered, resulting in a loss of biological activity and digestibility.

Our manufacturing process includes a rigorous series of tests to ensure our micelles and liposomes are the exact size, structure and integrity needed to perform properly.
