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

Polyelectrolytes may be classified into two primary categories (strong and weak) depending
on how their charge state responds to the local environment. Both of these find use in many …

Coacervation plays a critical role in numerous biological activities such as constructing
biological tissues and achieving robust wet adhesion of marine sessile organisms, which …

Effluent wastewater containing dyes from textile, paint, and various other industrial wastes
have long posed environmental damage. Functional nanomaterials offer new opportunities …

Zwitterionic materials have been attracting significant attentions due to their excellent non-
fouling and biocompatible properties and thus have been widely used in many biomedical …

We report a complex coacervate formed by a 2.5 nm-diameter, rigid uranyl peroxide
molecular cluster (Li68K12 (OH) 20)[UO2 (O2) OH] 60, U6060–) and SrCl2 salt in dilute …

Wet/underwater adhesion is a matter of common occurrence to some marine organisms, but
it is a quite thorny problem in practical engineering field and even in our daily lives …

Hydrophilic coatings exhibit ultra-low fouling properties in numerous laboratory experiments.
In stark contrast, the antifouling effect of such coatings in vitro failed when performing field …

Bacterial infections have become a global public health problem in recent decades, mainly
due to infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria with antibiotic resistance profiles, which …

Coacervates are commonly thought to be formed from the liquid–liquid phase separation of
macromolecules, such as oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, proteins or peptides. Unlike …
