Open AccessUltrathin collagen type I films formed at the air-water interface
Collagen-based biomaterials with oriented fibrils have shown great application potential in medicine. However, it is still challenging to control the type I collagen fibrillogenesis in ultrathin films. Here, w...

Open AccessCrystallization and degradation behaviour of multiblock copolyester blends in Langmuir monolayers
Supporting the wound healing of soft tissues requires fixation devices becoming more elastic while degrading. To address this unmet need, we designed a blend of degradable multiblock copolymers, which is cross...

Open AccessDegradation kinetics of oligo(ε-caprolactone) ultrathin films: Influence of crystallinity
The potential of using crystallinity as morphological parameter to control polyester degradation in acidic environments is explored in ultrathin films by Langmuir technique. Films of hydroxy or methacrylate en...

Open AccessHighly crystalline PCL ultrathin films as thermally switchable biomaterial coatings
Semi-crystalline oligomers are explored as functionalized thermoswitchable coatings for modification of biomaterials surface. Highly crystalline oligo(ε-caprolactone) (OCL) films are prepared at the air–water ...

Open AccessInterfacial properties of morpholine-2,5-dione-based oligodepsipeptides and multiblock copolymers
Oligodepsipeptides (ODPs) with alternating amide and ester bonds prepared by ring-opening polymerization of morpholine-2,5-dione derivatives are promising matrices for drug delivery systems and building blocks...
