The self-assembly of non-ionic amphiphiles with hydroxylated oxanorbornane head-group was controlled using amino acid units as spacers between hydrophilic and lipophilic domains to get spherical supramolecular aggregates suitable for drug delivery applications.

In this paper, cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant form worm-like micelles by self-assembly. The cationic surfactant is acryloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DAC). The anionic surfactant is potassium erucic (KEU). Mixed the cationic surfactant and anionic surfactant, because the DAC molecule contain a double bond, then, polymerized the solution with VA - 044. By contrast many experiments, the purpose is to get the highest apparent viscosity. After comparing, when the molar ratio of n (KEU) : n (DAC) = 5:1, the largest viscosity of worm-like micelles is 1450mPa•s.

In this work, we report the impact of pH and metal coordination on the self-assembly of amphiphiles comprised of naphthalenediimide (NDI)–bis(indolyl)methane (BIM) chromophores with a charged l-lysine head group.

ABSTRACTVia the Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) approach, we study the self-assembly of hybrid structures comprising lipids and end-functionalized nanotubes. Individual lipids are composed of a hydrophilic head group and two hydrophobic tails. Each bare nanotube encompasses an ABA architecture, with a hydrophobic shaft (B) and two hydrophilic ends (A). To allow for regulated transport through the nanotube, we also introduce hydrophilic hairs at one end of the tube. The amphiphilic lipids are composed of a hydrophilic head group (A) and two hydrophobic tails (B). We select the dimensions of the nanotube architecture to minimize its hydrophobic mismatch with the lipid bilayer. We find the amphiphilic lipids and functionalized nanotubes to self-assemble into a stable hybrid vesicle or a bicelle in the presence of a hydrophilic solvent. We demonstrate that the morphology of the self-assembled functionalized nanotube-lipid hybrid structures is controlled by the rigidity of the lipid molecules and concentration of the nanotubes.
