New Paper: “NSAID solubilisation promotes morphological transitions in Triton X-114 surfactant micelles”

In this manuscript, we identify the underlying molecular scale mechanisms that drive the solubilisation of two different small molecule drugs within Triton X-114 surfactant micelles, and how the solubilisation affects the structural properties of the micelles. Specifically, we have investigated the solubilisation of the sodium salts of two different nonsteroidal …

New Paper: “Impact of drug aggregation on the structural and dynamic properties of Triton X-100 micelles”

In this work, we elucidate the underlying molecular scale mechanisms which drive the encapsulation of two different small molecule drugs within Triton X-100 surfactant micelles, and how the encapsulation effects the structural properties of the micelles. Specifically, we have investigated the encapsulation of two different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen …

New Paper: “Understanding the pH-Directed Self-Assembly of a Four-Arm Block Copolymer”

In this work, we elucidate the pH-directed self-assembly of Tetronic 304 (T304), a four-arm block copolymer.  T304, as the smallest member of the Tetronics family, acts as an ideal testing ground to probe the underlying mechanisms that determine the self-assembly behaviour of this important class of polymers, which are of …
