    The Casimir force is measured to be higher for crystalline than for amorphous phase change materials. The contribution of free electrons (Drude term) and the change of bonding to the Casimir force contrast are determined. This finding suggests potential pathways to optimize Casimir force contrast for applications.

  2. Multiple Self-Assembly Functional Structures Based on Versatile Binding Sites of β-Lactoglobulin

    Netta Hendler, Bogdan Belgorodsky, Elad D. Mentovich, Shachar Richter, Ludmila Fadeev and Michael Gozin

    Article first published online: 23 MAY 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201102463

    A synthetic methodology for construction of novel multifunctional materials in a bottom-up fashion is demonstrated by combination of highly ordered self-assembly nanostructures with chemical versatility of the orderly doped β-lactoglobulin protein-based fibrils. Well-defined complexes of β-lactoglobulin with retinoic acid, protoporphyrine IX or carboxyfullerene ligands are converted into ligand-doped fibrils with designed physical properties.

  3. Polymer Microparticles Exhibit Size and Shape Dependent Accumulation around the Nucleus after Endocytosis

    Poornima Kolhar and Samir Mitragotri

    Article first published online: 23 MAY 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201102918

    The intracellular accumulation and subsequent spatial segregation of spherical and rod-shaped microparticles are studied. Both spherical and rod-shaped particles exhibit perinuclear accumulation upon cellular internalization; however binary mixtures of particles spatially segregate in the cytoplasm based on their shape and size. Larger particles exhibit preferential accumulation closer to the nucleus.
