Understanding the fundamentals of designing polyelectrolyte coatings, which can be seen as a bio-inspired approach due to chemical sequences that are analogous to proteins at a molecular level, ...

MEMBRANE equilibria, involving a macromolecule, impermeable through the membrane, and a permeable salt, were first investigated by Donnan 1. He found that at equilibrium the salt was unevenly ...

Another interesting finding of this work 2 is that the diffusion rates of drug molecules from the nanoparticle cores are also influenced by the drug diffusion path within the polyelectrolyte ...

Lin Han obtained his BE degree from Tsinghua University in Beijing, P. R. China, and his PhD degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the area of Bio- and Polymeric Materials. After ...

This monograph, by a world expert in the field, is unique in providing a self-contained tutorial approach that begins with the basic of electrostatics, polymer conformations, and solution ...
