Characterization of the self-assembly process of hydrophobically modified dextrin

Hydrophobized dextrin, randomly substituted by long alkyl chain (C16), forms stable hydrogel nanoparticles by self-assembling in water. Hydrophobic chains, distributed along the polymer backbone, promote the formation of hydrophobic microdomains within the nanoparticles. The influence of degree of s...
