Ceramides are involved in a variety of cellular processes and in disease. Their biological
functions are thought to depend on ceramides' unique biophysical properties, which …

Fluid–fluid interfaces stabilized by proteins, protein aggregates, polymers, or colloidal
particles, tend to have a complex microstructure. Their response to an applied deformation is …

Surfactants–molecules and particles that preferentially adsorb to fluid interfaces–play a
ubiquitous role in the fluids of industry, of nature and of life. Since most surfactants cannot be …

The dynamic properties of interfaces often play a crucial role in the macroscopic dynamics of
multiphase soft condensed matter systems. These properties affect the dynamics of …

The study of the interaction between Langmuir monolayers of 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-
phosphocholine (DPPC), as the major component of lung surfactant (LS), and nanoparticles …

We report an experimental study on the mechanical and permeability properties of giant
polymersomes made of diblock (PBD–PEO) and triblock (PEO–PPO–PEO) copolymers …

The interfacial properties of aqueous dispersions are strictly connected to the
transfer/accumulation of particles into the surface layer, driven by the particle hydrophobicity …

Lipid packing in cellular membranes has a direct effect on membrane tension and
microviscosity, and plays a central role in cellular adaptation, homeostasis and disease …

The effect of silica nanoparticles on the thermodynamic and structural properties of
monolayers of 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), palmitic acid (PA) and …

This study is focused on understanding how the combination of silica nanoparticles with a
cationic surfactant (CTAB) may lead to the formation of different solid-like structures at the …
