Journal Back Cover for PCCP Volume 22, Issue 45

The Wettig Research Group at the University of Waterloo studies surfactants with applications in drug delivery.

Project overviewPCCP back cover

Their paper in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) examined how Pluronics, nonionic triblock copolymers, mix with DNA/surfactant complexes.

We drew a 3D render for the journal’s back cover that visualizes this behaviour: loose, dissociated DNA drifting in the bulk solution, while concentrated complexes above the critical micelle concentration gather inside the cell.
