Journal Article
Paunov, V. N., Cantaert, B., Kim, Y. Y., Kröger, R., Ludwig, H., Meldrum, F. C., & Verch, A. (2013). Formation and structure of calcium carbonate thin films and nanofibers precipitated in the presence of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and magnesium ions. Chemistry of materials : a publication of the American Chemical Society, 25(24), 4994-5003. https://doi.org/10.1021/cm403497g

That the cationic polyelectrolyte poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) exerts a significant influence on CaCO₃ precipitation challenges the idea that only anionic additives have this effect. Here, we show that in common with anionic polyelectrolytes...

Adsorption of shape-anisotropic and porous particles at the air–water and the decane–water interface studied by the gel trapping technique (2013)
Journal Article

We have studied the attachment and orientation of anisotropic and porous microparticles at liquid surfaces by using the gel trapping technique (GTT). This technique involves spreading of the microparticles of interest at the liquid interface, subsequ...

We describe two alternative methods for surface functionalisation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with cyclodextrin molecules without affecting the cell viability. The first strategy involved using epichlorohydrin as a cross-linking agent which bin... Read More about Fabrication of viable cyborg cells with cyclodextrin functionality.

Cyclodextrin stabilised emulsions and cyclodextrinosomes (2013)
Journal Article

We report the preparation of o/w emulsions stabilised by microcrystals of cyclodextrin-oil inclusion complexes. The inclusion complexes are formed by threading cyclodextrins from the aqueous phase on n-tetradecane or silicone oil molecules from the e...

We have used a hydrogel templating technique followed by the subsequent evaporation of water present to fabricate porous cement and porous PDMS composites, and we have analyzed their sound absorption properties. All experiments were carried out with... Read More about Sound absorption properties of porous composites fabricated by a hydrogel templating technique.

Shape recognition of microbial cells by colloidal cell imprints (2013)
Journal Article

We have engineered a class of colloids which can recognize the shape and size of targeted microbial cells and selectively bind to their surfaces. These imprinted colloid particles, which we called “colloid antibodies”, were fabricated by partial frag... Read More about Shape recognition of microbial cells by colloidal cell imprints.

Photothermal colloid antibodies for shape-selective recognition and killing of microorganisms (2013)
Journal Article
