Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Block Copolypeptoids – Micelles, Worms and Polymersomes
Polypeptoids are an old but recently rediscovered polymer class with interesting synthetic, physico-chemical and biological characteristics. Here, we introduce new aromatic monomers, N-benzyl glycine N-carboxyanhydride and N-phenethyl glycine N-carboxyanhydride and their block copolymers with the hydrophilic polysarcosine. We compare their self-assembly in water and aqueous buffer with the self...
متن کاملFormation of size-controlled nano carrier systems by self-assembly.
Nano carrier systems were prepared by forming self-assembled liposomes having a size distribution in the nano range through use of an ultrasonic homogenizer. Phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol were utilized as an amphiphilic compound and a shape stabilizer, respectively. The size of prepared samples was decreased (up to 150 nm) by elevating ratio of lecithin and extending homogenization time (...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of size-controlled liposomes on DNA nanotemplates
Artificial lipid-bilayer membranes are valuable tools for the study of membrane structure and dynamics. For applications such as the study of vesicular transport and drug delivery, there is a pressing need for artificial vesicles with controlled size. However, controlling vesicle size and shape with nanometre precision is challenging, and approaches to achieve this can be heavily affected by li...
متن کاملSize-controlled polyelectrolyte nanocapsules via layer-by-layer self-assembly
Nanomaterials have found many important applications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, electronic, and molecular diagnostic fields. The recent introduction of electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique enables the design and development of polymer/polymer and polymer/nanoparticle complexes at nanometer scale [1]. The LbL technique is based on alternate adsorption of oppositely char...
متن کاملTriggered Release from Thermoresponsive Polymersomes with Superparamagnetic Membranes
Magnetic polymersomes were prepared by self-assembly of the amphiphilic block copolymer poly(isoprene-b-N-isopropylacrylamide) with monodisperse hydrophobic superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION). The specifically designed thermoresponsive block copolymer allowed for efficient incorporation of the hydrophobic nanoparticles in the membrane core and encapsulation of the water soluble ...
