For a liquid droplet to slide down solid planar surface, the surface usually has be tilted above critical angle of approximately 10°. By contrast, droplets nearly any "slip" on lubricant-infused textured surfaces - so termed slippery when by only few degrees. The mechanism how lubricant alters static and dynamic properties drop remains elusive because drop-lubricant interface is hidden. Here, we image shape drops laser scanning confocal microscopy. contact with substrate exceeds 140°,...
Nowadays, the need for therapeutic biomaterials displaying anti-inflammatory properties to fight against inflammation-related diseases is continuously increasing. Compact polyelectrolyte complexes (CoPECs) represent a new class of materials obtained by ultracentrifugation polyanion/polycation complex suspension in presence salt. Here, noncytotoxic β-cyclodextrin-functionalized chitosan/alginate CoPEC was formulated, characterized, and described as promising drug carrier an intrinsic...
