Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

Second, according to the corresponding temperature versus composition phase diagram for the lipid that creates the hosting mesophase 3,7, the mesophase is stable in equilibrium with an excess of ...

Researchers reveal a novel structure identified in an aqueous solution of an amphiphilic copolymer dubbed a bilayer-folded lamellar mesophase that was discovered using a random copolymer sequence in ...

The first step in the process the researcher discovered was to synthesize a new class of lipids to create a soft form of biological matter caleld a lipidic mesophase. In that material, the lipids ...
