A 3-D hexagonal inverse micellar lyotropic phase.
Lipids that are found in cell membranes form a variety of self-assembled phases in the presence of water. Many of these structures are liquid-crystalline with structural motifs mirrored in cells and organelles and can be exploited in the delivery of drugs and genes. We report the discovery of a lyotropic liquid crystalline phase based on a 3-D hexagonal close-packed arrangement of inverse micel...
متن کاملStructure under confinement in a smectic-A and lyotropic surfactant hexagonal phase
Simple and complex fluids undergo significant changes in their structural and rheological behaviour as they are progressively confined between narrowing walls. The understanding of these new fluid properties is of fundamental interest in applications ranging from thin film lubrication in micromachines to catalysis. The X-Ray surface forces apparatus (XSFA) is capable of non-destructive imaging ...
متن کاملLinear dsDNA partitions spontaneously into the inverse hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of phospholipids.
Recently, we reported that DNA associated with inverse hexagonal (H(II)) lyotropic liquid crystal phases of the lipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) was actively transcribed by T7 RNA polymerase. Our findings suggested that key components of the transcription process, probably the T7 RNA polymerase and the DNA, remained associated with the monolithic H(II) phase throughout...
متن کاملDiscovery of a tetracontinuous, aqueous lyotropic network phase with unusual 3D-hexagonal symmetry.
Network phase aqueous lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are technologically useful materials with myriad applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science, which stem from their structurally periodic aqueous and hydrophobic nanodomains (∼0.7-5.0 nm in diameter) that are lined with well-defined chemical functionalities. The exclusive observation of bicontinuous cubic network phase LLCs (e...
متن کاملCdS MINERALIZATION OF HEXAGONAL, LAMELLAR, AND CUBIC LYOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALS
Growth of CdS was studied in three different liquid crystalline phases demonstrating the versatility of liquid crystal templating of inorganic solids. Semiconductor growth in a hexagonal liquid crystal yielded a nanostructure with hexagonal symmetry, a lamellar liquid crystal yielded a lamellar nanostructure, and a cubic liquid crystal (consisting of spherical micelles) yielded a hollow, spheri...
