Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

Over the past few decades, a range of vesicle-based drug delivery systems have entered
clinical practice and several others are in various stages of clinical translation. While most of …

Equilibrium phase diagrams are calculated for a selection of two-component block
copolymer architectures using self-consistent field theory (SCFT). The topology of the phase …

Amphiphiles, either synthetic or natural, are structurally simple molecules with the
unprecedented capacity to self-assemble into complex, hierarchical geometries in …

Frank–Kasper phases are tetrahedrally packed structures occurring in numerous materials,
from elements to intermetallics to self-assembled soft materials. They exhibit complex …

In this paper, we report the complete synthesis and characterization procedures to generate
highly organized and oriented mesoporous titania thin films, using poly (ethylene …

Future nanoscale soft matter design will be guided to a large extent by the teachings of
amphiphile (lipid or surfactant) self-assembly. Ordered nanostructured lyotropic liquid …

Selected examples of recently synthesised non-conventional liquid crystals are highlighted.
These are cyclic and open chain oligoamides, molecules containing tetrahedral or …

Adsorption in spherical cavities is studied by the nonlocal density functional theory (NLDFT).
Theoretical results are compared with experimental data on ordered nanoporous materials …

This article gives an overview of recent progress in the design of novel materials, capable of
forming liquid crystalline phases with non-conventional mesophase morphologies. The …
