Anion-exchangeable polymer vesicles including pH-indicative and protein-coated vesicles were prepared through the self-assembly of a hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid.
High throughput methods were used to investigate ionic liquid containing solutions to provide systematic data of a broad compositional space. We have principally focused on the surface tension, apparent pH and liquid nanostructure to identify potential self-assembly and protein stabilizing ability of solvent systems.
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are the largest and most tailorable known class of non-aqueous solvents which possess the ability to support amphiphile self-assembly.
Nanostructured proton conductors having hexagonal and cubic structures were constructed by the self-assembly of zwitterionic ionic liquids. These nanostructured proton conductors all exhibited an assembled-structure dependent proton conduction behavior.
The self-assembly of long-chain choline carboxylates accompanied by their interaction with BSA protein were investigated with focus on environmental sustainability.
