Nanoarchitectonics of mesoporous carbon spheres by tuning the weight ratio of PEG-PCL block copolymer as template and phenol as carbon source towards supercapacitor applications
Fabrication of mesoporous carbon (MC) spheres is described, for the first time, upon tuning the weight ratio of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) to phenol as 1:1 and 1:4.3 via hydrothermal assisted c...

Formation of novel thermo-responsive hybrid vesicles: influence of molar ratio of lipids and heating
Thermo-responsive triblock copolymer, [poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline] (IDI) was synthesized, for the first time, by ring opening polymerization and it can s...

Swelling/deswelling of polyacrylamide gels in aqueous NaCl solution: Light scattering and macroscopic swelling study
Swelling kinetics of water-swollen polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels (WSG) was investigated in various concentrations of aqueous NaCl by macroscopic swelling measurements. For lower concentration of NaCl, WSG sh...
