Deskripsi
Self-assembly of carbohydrates play an integral part in the design of higher ordered structures, but is limited to amphiphiles where the carbohydrate is covalently bound to a hydrophobic tail. Here the authors show that sugars direct the self-assembly of insoluble curcumin and the formation of well-defined capsules.
