Experimental Study of Gas Microbubbles on Oil-Infused Wrinkled Surfaces
Published 2025Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) have been shown to reduce hydrodynamic drag to a greater extent than theoretically expected, making them attractive candidates for microfluidic applications. The presence of nano- and ...Open AccessArticle -
Molecular Origin of Slippery Behavior in Tethered Liquid Layers
Published 2025Slippery covalently attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) are a family of nanothin polymer layers with ultralow static droplet friction, characterized by a low contact angle hysteresis (CAH < 5°), which makes them ideally suited ...Open AccessArticle -
Encapsulation of Oil Droplets Using Film-Forming Janus Nanoparticles
Published 2025Polymer Janus nanoparticles with one hard cross-linked polystyrene lobe and one soft film-forming poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) lobe were synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer ...Open AccessArticle -
Gadolinium theranostics for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
Published 2021According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 18.1 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths reported worldwide in 2018. These numbers are expected to rise over the next decade, and the development ...Open AccessArticle -
Significant cell uptake of Gd(III)-diphenylphosphoryl-diphenylphosphonium complexes: evidence for a new conformationally-dependent tumour cell targeting vector
Published 2023The synthesis, characterisation, and tumour cell uptake of six novel Gd(III)-diphenylphosphoryl-diphenylphosphonium complexes are reported. The propyl-linked Gd(III) complexes can accumulate inside human glioma cells at ...Open AccessArticle
