Highly efficient capture and long-term encapsulation of dye by catanionic surfactant vesicles.
Vesicles formed from the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT) and the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), were used to sequester the anionic dye carboxyfluorescein. Carboxyfluorescein was efficiently sequestered in CTAT-rich vesicles via two mechanisms: encapsulation in the inner water pool and electrostatic adsorption to the charged bilayer. The ap...
متن کاملEncapsulation of DNA by cationic diblock copolymer vesicles.
Encapsulation of dsDNA fragments (contour length 54 nm) by the cationic diblock copolymer poly(butadiene-b-N-methyl-4-vinyl pyridinium) [PBd-b-P4VPQ] has been studied with phase contrast, polarized light, and fluorescence microscopies, as well as scanning electron microscopy. Encapsulation was achieved with a single emulsion technique. For this purpose, an aqueous DNA solution is emulsified in ...
متن کاملSilica Hollow Spheres by Templating of Catanionic Vesicles
A simple and effective means for obtaining hollow silica particles of controlled diameter from about 60 to 120 nm is presented. The synthesis utilizes equilibrium vesicles as templates for the directed growth of silica. Two different surfactant systems are used to form the vesicular templates: (a) mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium perfluorooctanoate (FC7) and (b) mixt...
متن کاملPhoto-assisted gene delivery using light-responsive catanionic vesicles.
Photoresponsive catanionic vesicles have been developed as a novel gene delivery vector combining enhanced cellular uptake with phototriggered release of vesicle payload following entry into cells. Vesicles with diameters ranging from 50 to 200 nm [measured using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light-scattering techniques] form spontaneously, following mixing of positively charg...
متن کاملLamellar gels and spontaneous vesicles in catanionic surfactant mixtures.
Caillé analysis of the small-angle X-ray line shape of the lamellar phase of 7:3 wt/wt cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate (CTAT)/sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) bilayers shows that the bending elastic constant is kappa = (0.62 +/- 0.09)k(B)T. From this and previous results, the Gaussian curvature constant is kappa = (-0.9 +/- 0.2)k(B)T. For 13:7 wt/wt CTAT/SDBS bilayers, the measured bendin...
