Twist-bend nematics, liquid crystal dimers, structure–property relations

Dawood, Alya A.; Grossel, Martin C.; Luckhurst, Geoffrey R.; Richardson, Robert M.; Timimi, Bakir A.; Wells, Neil J.; Yousif, Yousif Z.

One of the current challenges in liquid crystal science is to understand the molecular factors leading to the formation of the intriguing twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) and determine its properties. During our earlier hunt for the NTB phase created on cooling directly from the isotropic phase and not the nematic…

Relationship between Side-Chain Polarity and the Self-Assembly Characteristics of Perylene Diimide Derivatives in Aqueous Solution

Schill, Jurgen; Milroy, Lech-Gustav; Lugger, Jody A. M.; Schenning, Albertus P. H. J.; Brunsveld, Luc

Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimides (PDIs) have recently gained considerable interest for water-based biosensing applications. PDIs have been studied intensively in the bulk state, but their physical properties in aqueous solution in interplay with side-chain polarity are, however, poorly understood. Therefore, three perylene diimide based derivatives were synthesized to study the…

Characterization of Lipid-Based Hexosomes as Versatile Vaccine Carriers

Rodrigues, Letícia; Kyriakos, Konstantinos; Schneider, Fabian; Dietz, Hendrik; Winter, Gerhard; Papadakis, Christine M.; Hubert, Madlen

Subunit vaccines typically show insufficient immunogenicity. To address this issue, we developed a novel self-adjuvanting particulate carrier system based upon the lipids phytantriol (Phy) and mannide monooleate (MaMo). Phy is a lipid known to form nonlamellar phases in fully hydrated systems, whereas MaMo has been found to promote immune responses…
Theranostic hexosomes for cancer treatments: an in vitro study

Meli, Valeri; Caltagirone, Claudia; Sinico, Chiara; Lai, Francesco; Falchi, Angela M.; Monduzzi, Maura; Obiols-Rabasa, Marc; Picci, Giacomo; Rosa, Antonella; Schmidt, Judith; Talmon, Yeshayahu; Murgia, Sergio

Theranostic hexosomes for cancer treatments: an in vitro study

We have formulated and investigated innovative lipid-based nanoparticles characterized by a reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline inner structure (hexosomes). These nanoparticles were doped with a potent, highly water insoluble anticancer drug, namely docetaxel, and stabilized by a mixture of commercial and folate- and rhodamine-conjugated Pluronic F108. Thus, they simultaneously possess…

Reversibly Actuating Solid Janus Polymeric Fibers

Ionov, Leonid; Stoychev, Georgi; Jehnichen, Dieter; Sommer, Jens Uwe

It is commonly assumed that the substantial element of reversibly actuating soft polymeric materials is chemical cross-linking, which is needed to provide elasticity required for the reversible actuation. On the example of melt spun and three-dimensional printed Janus fibers, we demonstrate here for the first time that cross-linking is not…

Effect of hydration and dehydration on the properties of SBA-15 layer studied by humidity scanning QCM-D

Znamenskaya, Yana; Björklund, Sebastian; Kocherbitov, Vitaly; Alfredsson, Viveka

Surface deposited layers of mesoporous silica particles could function as support for bio-sensing or drug release applications. It is crucial to control the surface deposition process and employ relevant techniques to characterize the properties of the particles on the surface. Here, we deposit SBA-15 particles on native silica or cationic…

Composition and structure of high temperature dairy fouling

Hagsten, Carin; Altskär, Annika; Gustafsson, Stefan; Lorén, Niklas; Hamberg, Lars; Innings, Fredrik; Paulsson, Marie; Nylander, Tommy

The fouling structure and composition is dependent on the product, but also on the heating process applied to it. The structure will have profound effect on the cleaning process and the down time in the production plant. Here, the structure of high temperature (137 °C) milk fouling has been investigated,…
