Xylene Solution

The dynamics of changes in the values of the refractive index of solutions of C60 in xylene at various concentrations has been studied by the refractometric method. It was found that the deviation from the linear form of the dependence of the refractive index on the C60 concentration occurs at a C60 concentration of 1.8 mg/ml. The deviation is associated with the largest number of molecular interactions between C60−C60 and the formation of large nanoclusters on their basis in solution. It was found by the dynamic light scattering (DLS) that the final size of C60 nanoclusters in solution depends on the initial concentration of the solute. A higher initial concentration of C60 leads to the synthesis of nanoclusters with a larger diameter. Using the method of optical spectroscopy, the processes of self-organization of fullerene C60 molecules in a xylene solution in time are studied. The character of stability of synthesized fullerene nanoclusters in solution is discussed. The results obtained are of particular importance for numerous applications of nanotechnology for understanding self-assembly processes and the development of new nanomaterials.

Aggregate Structures

The surface and self-assembly properties of a family of multiheaded, multitailed surfactants based on a tripentaerythritol backbone are described. Critical aggregation concentrations of these unusual surfactant systems have been determined from surface tension measurements; aggregate sizes in the presence and absence of a small amount of added electrolyte have been obtained via dynamic light scattering, and the morphologies of the aggregates were examined from electron microscopy measurements. In general, when compared to conventional ionic and two-headed surfactants (and other recently synthesized pentaerythritol derived surfactants from this group), these multiheaded surfactants exhibited some unusual trends in their aggregation behaviour and interesting aggregate structures in aqueous solution, as a function of alkyl chain length.

Sequence Method

The formation and dimensions of G-wires by different short G-rich DNA sequences in solution were investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). To explore the basic principles of wire formation, we studied the effects of base sequence, method of preparation, temperature, and oligonucleotide concentration. Both DLS and PAGE show that thermal annealing induces much less macromolecular self-assembly than dialysis. The degree of assembly and consequently length of G-wires (5-6 nm) are well resolved by both methods for DNA sequences with intermediate length, while some discrepancies appear for the shortest and longest sequences. As expected, the longest DNA sequence gives the longest macromolecular aggregates with a length of about 11 nm as estimated by DLS. The quadruplex topologies show no concentration dependence in the investigated DNA concentration range (0.1 mM–0.4 mM) and no structural change upon heating.
