Small molecule motion within and through organic nanomaterials: an anthology
… to self-assembled small-molecule aramid amphiphile (AA) nanostructures. AAs are noteworthy within the class of self-assembled amphiphile materials because of their unusual mechanical stability borne of strong intermolecular interactions between aramid units. In Chapter 2, I evaluate local …

Investigation of a fusogenic pH-sensitive liposomal system for tumour-targeted intracellular delivery of dinitrobenzamide mustard prodrugs
… characteristic of solid tumours, such as low pH, hypoxia and the leaky vasculature, may be exploited as triggers to improve therapeutic outcomes. Dinitrobenzamide mustard (DNBM) prodrugs, designed to be selectively activated under tumour hypoxia, were developed as a pharmacological approach …

Functional Cylindrical Polymer Brushes and Their Hybrids with Inorganic Nanoparticles
… polyelectrolyte cylindrical brushes. They showed responsiveness to pH and salinity in solution. Strong cationic polyelectrolyte brushes were obtained by further quaternization of the PDMAEMA brushes. Their responses to counterions of different valencies were investigated. The addition of a …

Stimuli-responsive microcapsules for self-protecting and self-healing material systems
… based on the interfacial tension of immiscible phases for the fabrication of monodisperse emulsion templates and microcapsules. In this technique, either one (single emulsion) or two (double emulsion) dispersed phases are simultaneously delivered while reciprocating across the interface of a …
