Responsive self-assemblies based on fatty acids

“…As a result, all the modifications of the environmental conditions such as pH or temperature have an impact on the pKa of the fatty acid molecules embedded in the self-assembly, which is important to take into account to produce responsive systems [30,31].…”

Self‐Assembly of Unprecedented Swollen Multilamellar Twisted Ribbons from a Racemic Hydroxy Fatty Acid

“…[4] Similar enthalpograms have been reported in the literature and were explained in terms of modifications of the membrane curvature as a function of temperature. [25,26] However, one cannot determine the temperature of phase transition from a gel to a fluid state as in "common" lipid mixtures, [27] but there is clearly a transition from tubes to another supramolecular assembly that was not previously observed for other counterions. [4,24] We captured cryo-TEM images after a long period of resting at room temperature ( Figure 1).…”

Differential Scanning Calorimetry Studies of Phospholipid Membranes: The Interdigitated Gel Phase

“…Furthermore, the meticulous studies of Koynova and Caffrey describe how systematic changes in lipid chemistry can affect their phase behavior [7][8][9]. Lipids with asymmetrical acyl chains that form either mixed-or partially-interdigitated phases have also been thoroughly investigated [7,[10][11][12].…”
