  • (In)stability of ligands at the surface of inorganic nanoparticles : a forgotten question in nanomedicine? 

    Le Goas, Marine; Saber, Justine; González Bolívar, Sara; Rabanel, Jean-Michel; Awogni, Jean-Marc; Boffito, Daria C.; Banquy, Xavier (Elsevier, 2022-06-14)
    Multiple inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are currently being developed for nanomedicine. Various core materials and shapes are explored, but they all display a common hybrid structure, with organic ligands on their surface. These ligands play a key role ...
  • Phytoglycogen nanoparticles : nature-derived superlubricants 

    Adibnia, Vahid; Ma, Yingshan; Halimi, Ilias; Walker, Gilbert C.; Banquy, Xavier; Kumacheva, Eugenia (American Chemical Society, 2021-05-07)
    Phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PhG NPs), a single-molecule highly branched polysaccharide, exhibit excellent water retention, due to the abundance of close-packed hydroxyl groups forming hydrogen bonds with water. Here we report lubrication properties ...
