“…Versatile DODAB membranes have been used as nucleic acid (Silva et al 2011) and hydrophobic drug carriers Vieira et al 2006), as templates for polymerization and deposition of materials (Hubert et al 2000), as biomimetic particles (Rosa et al 2008), as microbicidal agents (Ragioto et al 2014) and as vaccine adjuvants (Rozenfeld et al 2012;Aps et al 2016). Similarly, highly fusogenic diC14-amidine membranes (Oliveira et al 2012) have successfully delivered nucleic acids (El Ouahabi et al 1996;Ruysschaert et al 1994) and stimulated the formation of immune responses (Tanaka et al 2008).…”

Cationic bilayers have been used as models to study membrane fusion, templates for polymerization and deposition of materials, carriers of nucleic acids and hydrophobic drugs, microbicidal agents and vaccine adjuvants. The versatility of these membranes depends on their structure. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that employs hydrophobic spin labels to probe membrane structure and packing. The focus of this review is the extensive structural characterization of cationic membranes prepared with dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide or diC14-amidine to illustrate how ESR spectroscopy can provide important structural information on bilayer thermotropic behavior, gel and fluid phases, phase coexistence, presence of bilayer interdigitation, membrane fusion and interactions with other biologically relevant molecules.

“…A number of approaches have been introduced to enhance phospholipid vesicle stability including: polymerizable phospholipids, [15][16][17][18] surface grafting of water soluble polymers 19 and polymerization of hydrophobic monomer units incorporated into the bilayer. [20][21][22][23][24] Preparation of phospholipid vesicles using polymerizable lipids presents a unique opportunity for preparing porous phospholipid nanoshells (PPNs) as the membrane fluidity, stability, and permeability can be readily altered by controlling the polymerization conditions. [25][26][27] Here, we report the preparation and characterization of stabilized nm-sized porous shell structures for constructing nanoreactors and nanosensors that are stabilized for intracellular utilization.…”

Chemically stabilized, porous phospholipid nanoshells (PPNs) were prepared via copolymerization of reactive monomers with unilamellar bis-Sorbyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles. The resulting PPN vesicular assemblies possess a highly porous membrane structure that allows passage of small molecules, which can react with encapsulated proteins and reporters. The unique combination of membrane stability and porosity will prove useful for preparing nm-sized sensor, container and reactor platforms stable in harsh chemical and biological environments.

“…The approach of transcriptive synthesis exploits the external surface of the aggregates bilayer as a receptive surface in the controlled growth of inorganic or organic material. In the case of morphosynthesis, the aggregate interface can be treated as a reaction medium, organized at a molecular level [5]. Both techniques present a unique way to build nanometer particles with a hydrophobic core.…”

Preparation of polymeric nanoparticles using a new polymerizable surfactant

et al. 2011

Abstract:A novel polymerizable surfactant (so-called surfmer) was synthesized and characterized according to its structure, surface activity and polymerization ability. Polymeric micelles (size of 6 and 130 nm) appeared in the polyreaction initiated by free radicals from VA-044. In the presence of the monomer (i.e., methyl methacrylate) microemulsion systems were formed that in turn were transformed into latex entities (size -40 nm). Additionally, an emulsion polymerization was performed with the use of n-hexadecane as an oil phase resulting in the production of nanocapsules (size in the range -165-220 nm). The shape and morphologies of the nanoobjects were confirmed using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
