Mixtures of surfactants can result in formation of various structures like micelles, vesicles and
inverted micelles. Catanionic vesicular systems are preferred on account of their ease of …

Over the past two decades, catanionic vesicles fabricated from mixtures of oppositely
charged surfactants have attracted substantial attention because of their potential …

A novel cationic surfactant Guerbet-cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (G-CTAC) was
synthesized by combining several traditional synthetic processes in laboratory. The …

A pseudodouble-chain ion pair amphiphile, hexadecyltrimethylammonium-dodecylsulfate
(HTMA-DS), and a double-chain cationic surfactant, ditetradecyldimethylammonium bromide …

Lipid‐like ion‐pair amphiphile vesicles, or catanionic vesicles, have emerged as potential
drug carriers. The effects of cholesterol on the properties of catanionic vesicles have yet …

In this work, nine homologous ion-pair amphiphiles (IPAs) were successfully prepared by
the precipitation or ion-exchange methods. This demonstrated the feasibility of designing …

In this study, a pseudodouble-chained ion pair amphiphile (IPA),
hexadecyltrimethylammoniumdodecylsulfate (HTMA-DS), and dialkyldimethylammonium …

Ion-pair amphiphiles (IPAs, also known as catanionic surfactants) are lipid-like double-
chained molecules potentially used for fabricating liposome-like vesicular drug and gene …

Physical stability control of vesicle/DNA complexes is a key issue for the development of
catanionic vesicles composed of ion pair amphiphile (IPA) as DNA carriers. In this work …

Cationic vesicles fabricated from various novel materials have been recently developed for
DNA delivery applications, and the physical stability of the vesicle/DNA complexes played …
