Complex coacervation is an associative, liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in
solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecular species, such as proteins, polymers, and …

Coacervates are condensed liquid-like droplets, usually formed with oppositely charged
polymeric molecules. They have been studied extensively in colloid and interface science …

Synthetic polymers are versatile and widely used materials. Similar to small organic
molecules, a large chemical space of such materials is hypothetically accessible …

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates represent a wide class of materials with applications
ranging from coatings and adhesives to pharmaceutical technologies. They also underpin …

Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates of homologous (co) polyelectrolytes with a near-ideally
random distribution of a charged and neutral ethylene oxide comonomer were synthesized …

Hydrophobic ion pairing has emerged as a method to modulate the solubility of charged
hydrophilic molecules ranging in class from small molecules to large enzymes. Charged …

Liquid–liquid phase separation is responsible for formation of P granules, nucleoli, and
other membraneless subcellular organelles composed of RNA and proteins. Efforts to …

The design and construction of synthetic cells–human‐made microcompartments that mimic
features of living cells–have experienced a real boom in the past decade. While many efforts …

There has been increasing interest in complex coacervates for deriving and transporting
biomaterials. Complex coacervates are a dense, polyelectrolyte‐rich liquid that results from …

Protein encapsulation is a growing area of interest, particularly in the fields of food science
