Confinement Effects on Polymer Dynamics: Thermo-Responsive Behaviours of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Polymers in Phospholipid-Coated Droplets (Water-in-Oil Emulsion)

Confinement Effects on Polymer Dynamics: Thermo-Responsive Behaviours of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Polymers in Phospholipid-Coated Droplets (Water-in-Oil Emulsion)

In order to construct the artificial cells and to understand the physicochemical properties of living cells, it is important to clarify the cell-sized confinement effect on the behaviours of bio-inspired polymers. We report the dynamic behaviours of aqueous hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) solution coa...
