It is provided a composition comprising a hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative and a small molecule comprising at least one cyclic amine. The hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative is obtainable by a method comprising the following steps: a) reacting only glycidol and ε-caprolactone at a temperature lying in a range of between 40° C. and 140° C. to obtain a hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative in which caprolactone residues and glycerol residues are randomly arranged; b) reacting the hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative of step a) with a sulfation reagent to obtain a sulfated hyperbranched polyester polyol as hyperbranched polyester polyol derivative.

A capsule comprising a capsule wall and an electrophoretic fluid encapsulated by the capsule wall. The capsule wall comprises a cross-linked nonionic, water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer. The electrophoretic fluid comprises a suspending fluid, first pigment particles, second pigment particles, and third pigment particles. In some embodiments, the electrophoretic fluid includes a fourth electrophoretic particle. The first, second, and third particles are electrically charged, suspended in the suspending fluid, and capable of moving through the suspending fluid upon application of an electric field to the capsule.

The present invention relates to plant-based coacervate core-shell microcapsules, wherein the shell comprises a plant protein extract, as well as methods and uses of the same.

Provided herein is a nanopore structure, which in one aspect is a “carbon nanotube porin”, that comprises a short nanotube with an associated lipid coating. Also disclosed are compositions and methods enabling the preparation of such nanotube/lipid complexes. Further disclosed is a method for therapeutics delivery that involves a drug delivery agent comprising a liposome with a NT loaded with a therapeutic agent, introducing the therapeutic agent into a cell or a tissue or an organism; and subsequent release of the therapeutic agents into a cell.
