Project summary Highly charged molecules and nano-assemblies serve as unique building blocks in nanochemistry. Bulky and multivalent ions are known to readily condense on polyelectrolyte chains or brushes. Such ions …
Project summary An increased synergy between experimental and theoretical investigations in heterogeneous catalysis has become apparent during the last decade. Experimental work has extended from ultra-high vacuum and low temperature …
Project summary The concept of Multicompartment Micelles (MCMs), i. e., self-assembled aggregates with moieties of different chemical properties, that mimic biological molecules such as proteins was derived by Prof. H. …
Endohedral fullerenes, i.e. cage-like hollow carbon molecules with an atom or a small molecule trapped inside, are fascinating species with unusual properties attractive for applications. With Gd atom inside they …
Association of weak polyelectrolytes can be controlled by the variable pH-sensitive ionization of weak acid and base groups. Encapsulation of multivalent molecules in polyelectrolyte-based systems can be controlled by the …
