Mixing of oppositely charged macromolecules can, under certain conditions, lead to the
formation of electrostatically cross-linked coacervate gels. In this simulation study, we …

The star amphiphilic block copolymer of star-[poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-
polystyrene][s-PNIPAM-b-PS] is synthesized via RAFT polymerization by combining …

Large-scale dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations have been performed to
investigate the self-assembly of over 20 000 linear diblock copolymer chains in a selective …

Block copolymer stars (BCSs) have been demonstrated to constitute versatile, self-
assembling building blocks with tunable softness, functionalization, and shape. We …

Molecular building blocks undergoing a hierarchical assembly process form nano-scale
objects which can further assemble into supramolecular structures. When the intermediate …

Fiber structures with connected pores resemble the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) in
tissues, and show high potential for promoting the formation of natural functional tissue. The …

The design of functional polymeric materials with tunable response requires a synergetic
use of macromolecular architecture and interactions. Here, we combine experiments with …

Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are ultrasoft objects obtained through purely
intramolecular cross-linking of single polymer chains. By means of computer simulations …

We combine synthesis, physical experiments, and computer simulations to investigate self-
assembly patterns of low-functionality telechelic star polymers (TSPs) in dilute solutions. In …

We present a simulation study of amphiphilic mikto-arm star copolymers in a selective
polymer host. By means of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the …
