Abstract In this paper, phase change material hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was chosen to investigate the influence of small molecular weak acids on its phase transition temperature. The results showed that all of the chosen small molecular weak acids such as acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), DL-lactic acid (LA), citric acid (CA) and acetic acid (AAc) can trigger the decrease of phase transition temperature of HPMC at different pH. With the increase of pH, AA, LA, CA and AAc can further lower the phase transition temperature, on the contrary, the phase transition temperature of HPMC increased with MAA. The change range of LCST was largest around pKa compared with other pH values because triggering effect changed gradually from hydrogen bonding effect to salt effect upon the increase of pH. Besides, phase transition temperature can also be reduced by the increase of acid concentration. This is attributed to smaller distance between molecules caused by higher concentration leading to stronger hydrogen bonding effect or salt effect. This paper provided a new perspective to modulate the LCST of phase change material by small molecular weak acids at different pH.

Lipid Polymorphism

TEM imaging of frozen-hydrated lipid vesicles has been done by several groups Thermotrophic and lyotrophic polymorphism has been reported. By using image processing, computer simulation and tilt experiments, we tried to learn about the influence of freezing-stress and defocus artifacts on the lipid polymorphism and fine structure of the bilayer profile. We show integrated membrane proteins do modulate the bilayer structure and the morphology of the vesicles.Phase transitions of DMPC vesicles were visualized after freezing under equilibrium conditions at different temperatures in a controlled-environment vitrification system. Below the main phase transition temperature of 24°C (Fig. 1), vesicles show a facetted appearance due to the quasicrystalline areas. A gradual increase in temperature leads to melting processes with different morphology in the bilayer profile. Far above the phase transition temperature the bilayer profile is still present. In the band-pass-filtered images (Fig. 2) no significant change in the width of the bilayer profile is visible.
