Thermodynamic Characterization of Free and Surface Water of Colloidal Unimolecular Polymer (CUP) Particles Utilizing DSC

Colloidal Unimolecular Polymer (CUP) particles are spheroidal, 3–9 nm with charged groups on the surface and a hydrophobic core, which offer a larger surface water fraction to improve the analysis of its characteristics. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed to determine the characte...
