Spontaneous symmetry breaking: formation of Janus micelles (2009)
Voets, I.K., Fokkink, R.G., Hellweg, T., King, S.M., ...
We describe the preparation and solution properties of Janus micelles, i.e., non-centrosymmetric nanoparticles with compartmentalized shells, via co-assembly of two fully water-soluble block...

Based on earlier reported surface rheological behaviour two factors appeared to be important for the functional behaviour of mixed protein/polysaccharide adsorbed layers at air/water interfaces: (1)...
Wormlike aggregates from a supramolecular coordination polymer and a diblock copolymer (2007)
Yan, Y., Besseling, N.A.M., Drechsler, M., Fokkink, R.G., Cohen Stuart, M.A.
The formation of wormlike micelles in mixed systems of a supramolecular coordination polymer Zn-L2EO4 and a diblock copolymer P2MVP41-b-PEO205 is investigated by light scattering and Cryo-TEM. By...
