In modern times, protein drugs have had an ever-increasing ability to efficiently combat disease in the human body, and delivery of polypeptide agents, whether insulin or interferons, to biological targets has thus become a task of great importance to doctors and patients alike. For this reason, it is the goal of many medical researchers to preserve the bioactivity of specific protein drugs and...

In recent years, the number of non-aqueous solvents which mediate hydrocarbon-solvent interactions and promote the self-assembly of amphiphiles has been markedly increased by the reporting of over 30 ionic liquids which possess this previously unusual solvent characteristic. This new situation allows a different exploration of the molecular "solvophobic effect" and tests the current understandi...

In this study, two different non-ionic surfactants have been evaluated as a plasticizer in lithium polymer electrolytes and compared with an organic carbonate-based plasticizer. To that end, molecular weight structure selected (Triton� X-100 Brij�L23) carbonates (EC:DEC1:1) plasticizers electrolytes. The effect of the content, salt content surfactant characteristics on properties such ionic con...
