Direct observation of time and temperature dependent transition from spherical micelles to vesicles.

چکیده
An interesting transition from spherical micelles to vesicles, which was time and temperature dependent, was observed for the first time; it is tentatively attributed to the thermal hysteresis of temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).

Nimodipine-Loaded Pluronic Block Copolymer Micelles: Preparation, Characterization, In Vitro and In Vivo Studies
Nimodipine (NM), as a lipophilic calcium channel blocker indicated for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, suffers from an extensive first pass metabolism, resulting in low oral bioavailability. Polymeric micelles, self-assembled from amphiphilic polymers, have a core-shell structure which makes them unique nano-carriers with excellent performance as drug delivery. This inve...

متن کاملpH-dependent phase behavior of carbohydrate-based gemini surfactants. Effect of the length of the hydrophobic spacer.
The phase behavior of a series of carbohydrate-based gemini surfactants with varying spacer lengths was studied using static and dynamic light scattering between pH 2 and 12. Cryo-electron microscopy pictures provide evidence for the different morphologies present in solution. The spacer length of the gemini surfactants was varied from two to 12 methylene units. At near neutral pH, spherical ve...
