Cryogenic wormlike micellar solutions with a freezing point far below 0 °C and unique rheological behavior are fabricated from the self-assembly of a C22-tailed zwitterionic surfactant in a mixed solvent of ethylene glycol and water. Such fluids could find applications in areas where viscoelasticity is highly desired at subfreezing temperatures.

Short amphiphilic oligo(ethylene glycol)–oligolactide fragments were used to chemically modify a hydrophobic and toxic taxane drug, which induced the self-assembly of the resultant prodrug entities in aqueous media for intravenous administration.

The unique ladder shape structure of the assembled EDPS WLMs would change with the increase of the shear rate, which was responsible for the abnormal rheological behavior.

The hybrid particle–field molecular dynamics simulation method (MD-SCF) was applied to study the self-assembly of Pluronic PEO20-PPO70-PEO20 (P123) in water/ethanol/turpentine oil- mixed solvents. In particular, the micellization process of P123 at low concentration (less than 20%) in water/ethanol/turpentine oil-mixed solvents was investigated. The aggregation number, radius of gyration, and radial density profiles were calculated and compared with experimental data to characterize the structures of the micelles self-assembled from P123 in the mixed solvent. This study confirms that the larger-sized micelles are formed in the presence of ethanol, in addition to the turpentine oil-swollen micelles. Furthermore, the spherical micelles and vesicles were both observed in the self-assembly of P123 in the water/ethanol/turpentine oil-mixed solvent. The results of this work aid the understanding of the influence of ethanol and oil on P123 micellization, which will help with the design of effective copolymer-based formulations.

A supramolecular photosensitizer delivery system has been established through the self-assembly of supramolecular amphiphiles constructed by the host–guest interaction between poly(ethylene glycol)-β-cyclodextrin (PEG-β-CD) and adamantane-terminated porphyrin derivatives bearing a disulfide bond (TPPC6-SS-Ada).
