For more than a decade, the discovery of liquid–liquid phase separation within living
organisms has prompted colloid scientists to understand the connection between …

Polysaccharide–protein complex coacervates are amongst the leading pair of biopolymer
systems that has been used over the past decades for encapsulation of numerous active …

Liquid-liquid phase separation yields spherical droplets that eventually coarsen to one
large, stable droplet governed by the principle of minimal free energy. In chemically fueled …

One of science's greatest challenges is determining how life can spontaneously emerge
from a mixture of molecules. A complicating factor is that life and its molecules are inherently …

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

Since the pioneering work of Bungenberg de Jong and co-workers on gelatin–acacia gum
complex coacervation in the 1920–40s, protein/polysaccharide complexes and coacervates …

The interactions of proteins and polyelectrolytes lead to diverse applications in separations,
delivery and wound repair, and are thus of interest to scientists in eg (a) glycobiology,(b) …

Polyelectrolyte-colloid coacervation could be viewed as a sub-category of complex
coacervation, but is unique in (1) retaining the structure and properties of the colloid, and (2) …

Recent advances on protein–polysaccharide electrostatic complex and coacervates'
formation, structure and properties are presented. The first section emphasises on the …

Complex coacervation was proposed to play a role in the formation of the underwater
bioadhesive of the Sandcastle worm (Phragmatopoma californica) based on the polyacidic …
