The bicontinuous lipidic cubic phase (LCP), which is based on the fundamental structure of
the lipid bilayer, is increasingly used in a range of applications including drug delivery, in …

Lyotropic liquid crystalline lipid nanomaterials have shown promise as delivery vehicles for
small therapeutic drugs, protein, peptides, and in vivo imaging contrast agents. To design …

Morphological changes of surfactant in water are believed to rely on the packing parameter
of individual molecules. However, its validity has not been well examined due to the …

We present the development of time-programmable functional soft materials. The materials
undergo reversible phase transitions between lyotropic phases with different topologies and …

Production of large-scale batches is one of the bottlenecks in nanoscience translation, and
there is a significant gap between academic and industrial production settings. There is a …

Two novel series of amphiphilic mesogens containing one rod-like π-conjugated unit which
consisted of thiophene and cyanostyrene, one terminal hydrophilic glycerol group at one …

Lyotropic liquid crystals play an important role in many biological environments, such as
micelles, liposomes, and phospholipid bilayers of cell membranes. In this work, we explore …

Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy, Volume 111 presents the latest release in a series
that has established itself as a premier resource for both specialists and non-specialists …

Bolaamphiphile, which is a class of amphiphilic molecules, has a unique structure of two
hydrophilic head groups at the ends of the hydrophobic center. Peptidic bolaamphiphiles …

Humidified perfluorosulfonic acid polymers with a nanoscopic phase-separated morphology
are highly proton-conductive materials for fuel cells, yet morphology tuning of the acidic …
