Complex coacervates loaded with nano enzymes as microreactor by Ng, Si Yi

“…Complex coacervates are predominantly driven by electrostatic forces and entropic changes and are affected by numerous parameters such as pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. In this study, we aim to derive the optimum conditions for the complex coacervates of the Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC; IUPAC name, is a 1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride) and Carboxymethyl-dextran sodium salt (Dextran sodium salt, DSS), focusing on the optimum pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. …”

Controlling the thermally-driven crystallization of DNA-coated nanoparticles with formamide by Hueckel, Theodore, Woo, Seungyeon, Macfarlane, Robert J

“…Our results reveal a clear and predictable trend in the PAEs’ response to formamide, enabling rational control over the Tm of a diverse set of PAE systems. Unlike adjustments made through alterations to PAE design or solution parameters such as ionic strength, formamide achieves its temperature shift without impacting the kinetics of assembly. …”

Study of bioactivity of complexed DNA in biodegradable polymer films by Debasish Mondal

“…The polymeric system consists of a biodegradable semi crystalline polymer such as PCL blended with a hydrophilic polymer such as gelatin, hyaluronic acid (HA), PEG, PVP, or the sodium salt of poly acrylic acid (PAA). Release studies of pDNA and complexed DNA from different polymeric films were performed by quantifying the amount of DNA released at specific time points over a period of month, utilizing the fluorescence of ethidium bromide complexed to DNA. …”

Development of highly-efficient ZIF-8@PDMS/PVDF nanofibrous composite membrane for phenol removal in aqueous-aqueous membrane extractive process by Jin, Meng-Yi, Lin, Yuqing, Liao, Yuan, Tan, Choon-Hong, Wang, Rong

“…The high performance was maintained for over 360 h without loss of salt rejection. These results could be attributed to the organophilic-assisted “bi-mode” transporting mechanism of ZIF-8 nanofillers in PDMS matrix, namely: (1) the solution-diffusion transport mode; (2) the pore-flow transport mode, where the synergistic effects are expected to significantly improve the phenol transfer efficiency through the membranes. …”
