Architecture of synthetic polymers has become increasingly complex and difficult to fully characterize making it challenging to determine structure-function relationships…
Biological nanoparticles include lipoproteins, protein aggregates, viruses, extracellular vesicles, and liposomes. Ranging in size from 1-1000 nm, these particles have important roles in diverse fields like health and sustainability…
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanometer sized lipid particles (25-500 nm) that are produced from various types of cells, including from the outer membrane of bacteria (termed outer membrane vesicles or OMVs)…
The glass transition temperature (_Tg_) is routinely used to characterize polymers as it yields useful information about processability and physical properties…
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from algae are complex, secreted, heteropolymers that can represent a significant fraction of biological extracellular carbon…
