Abstract Extreme energy-dissipating materials are essential for a range of applications. The military and police force require ballistic armour to ensure the safety their personnel, while aerospace industry requires that enable capture, preservation study hypervelocity projectiles. However, current standards display at least one inherent limitation, such as weight, breathability, stiffness, durability failure preserve captured To resolve these limitations, we have turned nature, using...
Many chemotherapeutic drugs have a narrow therapeutic window due to inefficient tumour cell permeation. Supramolecular self-associating amphiphilic salts (SSAs) are unique class of small molecules that offer potential as next generation cancer and/or enhancement agents. Herein, we demonstrate the cytotoxicity seven SSAs towards both ovarian and glioblastoma cells. We also utilize intrinsic fluorescent properties one these lead provide evidence for this compound bind exterior surface permeate...
