Gold was vacuum-deposited on one side of 6-μm-diameter SiO 2 particles to prepare Janus particles (JPs). A thiol-terminated pH-responsive polymer (pAaH-SH), prepared via reversible ...

A research team has developed a reversible, water-based glue that has good adhesion in the neutral pH range, but can be detached again in strongly acidic or alkaline environments. The novel adhesive ...

Polymers have played a key role as solubilizing excipients. Industry experts explain why polymer structures and functionalities are important considerations in formulation development. Poor solubility ...

Texicryl alkali swellable emulsions (ASEs) are dispersions of acid-functional acrylic polymers in water. These emulsions are supplied at low pH, meaning that acid groups on the polymer chains must be ...
