Back to profile Projects - prof.dr. MA (Martien) Cohen Stuart Projects by MA Cohen Stuart Surface forces and detergency action in carbon dioxide The goal of this project is to elucidate the forces and mechanisms of detergent action in particle removal in dry-cleaning with high-pressure carbon... Protein block copolymers as novel biomaterials Fibrillar proteins such as collagen, silk and elastin are promising materials with broad medical and pharmaceutical application. Drying of water borne coating: Spontaneous Inversion in Jammed Systems During drying of a water borne coating, the dispersed resin must form a continuous, water-resistant film. Silk-collagen based pH-responsive triblock copolymers that self-assemble into hydrogels We developed a new category of biologically produced protein block copolymers making use of genetic engineering. How strong is a polyelectrolyte complex? If you mix a solution of positively charged polymers with negatively charged polymers, a polyelectrolyte complex is formed under the right conditions Hybrid Networks This project concerns a new class of hydrogels and hydromicrogels based on biomimetic protein polymers. The aim is to understand the multiscale static... Core shell particles for drug delivery Similarly as surfactant analogues, block copolymers form association colloids in selective solvents. This means that the solvent is poor for the... Metal Containing Complex Coacervate Core Micelles Complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) are nanostructures formed by mixing aqueous solutions of a polyion-neutral diblock copolymer and an oppositely... Microrheology of 2D-Actin networks Actin is a protein found in all eukaryotic cells; mainly it occurs as the major component in the cells’ cytoskeleton and cortex, also it... Physics of spraying and droplet impact In applications of pesticides, farmers typically spray liquids that include the active ingredient onto their fields. During spraying an aerosol is... 12Next
