A simple pH-sensing method for cationic micelle and vesicle interfaces is introduced,
utilizing a Schiff-base molecule, 2-((4H-1, 2, 4-triazol-4-ylimino) methyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-4 …

The interfacial pH and polarity are two highly interrelated parameters in amphiphilic self-
assembled systems. The hydronium ion (H3O+) concentration and/or the pH value near the …

Several ion pair amphiphiles (IPA) that are composed of two positive parts (ammonium
surfactants) and one negative part (dicarboxlyate surfactant) are prepared to test whether …

It is possible that a defined curvature at the membrane interface controls its pH/polarity to
exhibit specific bioactivity. By utilizing an interface-interacting spiro-rhodamine pH probe …

Double-chained ammonium amphiphiles with terminal (4 '-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl) oxy,(4 '-
cyanoazobenzen-4-yl) oxy, or (4 '-nitroazobenzen-4-yl) oxy moieties form vesicles upon …

Two new l-cysteine-derived zwitterionic amphiphiles with poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether
(mPEG) tail of different chain lengths were synthesized and their surface activity and self …

Interactions between hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) and l-α-
phosphatidylcholine (PC), 1, 2-didecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPC), and 1, 2 …

A newly synthesised Schiff base molecule (PMP) existing in equilibrium between non-ionic
and zwitterionic forms displays solvent polarity induced ratiometric interconversion from one …

A phase diagram of a dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)–
didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) system was obtained by a combination of …

Abstract Development of stable self-assembled nanostructures (especially vesicles and
liposomes), and understanding their physicochemical behaviors in aqueous solution is a …
