Biomolecular coacervation-mediated materials: Phase states, phase transitions, and biomedical applications

Biomolecular coacervation is increasingly recognized as a phase-evolution process, including liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), resulting in metastable liquid-like states, and phase transitions that give rise to gel-like states or solid-like states. These coacervate phase states exhibit distinct structural, dynamic...
