Garcia E, Pessoa D, Herrera-Alonso M
Soft Matter . 2020 Feb; 16(10):2473-2479. PMID: 32043107
Oxidative stress, caused by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is often observed in degenerative and/or metabolic diseases, tumors, and inflamed tissues. Boronic acids are emerging as a unique...

Petroff M, Garcia E, Herrera-Alonso M, Bevan M
Langmuir . 2019 Mar; 35(14):4976-4985. PMID: 30889950
We report direct measurements of ionic strength-dependent interactions between different molecular weights of zwitterionic triblock copolymers adsorbed to hydrophobic colloids and surfaces. The zwitterionic copolymers investigated include phosphorylcholine [poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)...

Langmuir . 2016 May; 32(22):5629-36. PMID: 27203863
We introduce a general method for the stabilization and surface functionalization of hydrophobic nanoparticles using an amphiphilic copolymer, poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene)-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PMAO-PEGMA). Coating nanoparticles with PMAO-PEGMA results in colloidally...
