Stabilizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within a desired size range is critical to realize their promising catalytic performance in many important reactions.
In the present work, we study the interaction of the saponin aescin with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen at concentrations of 1.2–2.5 mM.
Breaking away from the linear structure of previously reported peptide-based gelators, this study reports the first example of gel formation based on the use of cyclic
An efficient strategy to modulate the mechanical properties of conjugated polymers has been developed through the incorporation of amide-containing alkyl chains in diketopyrrolopyrrole-based conjugated polymers.
