Bioinspired colloidal systems vialayer-by-layer assembly

Abstract: This paper provides an overview of our recent work in the area of bioinspired colloidal particles. We highlight how modifying the basic polyelectrolyte multilayer shell with materials such as light-absorbing gold nanoparticles, lipid bilayer membranes, and targeting ligands can functionalize colloids prepared via the layer-by-layer assembly technique. These nanoengineered colloids are expected to show promise in areas ranging from drug and gene delivery to cell membrane modeling.

“…A lipid membrane on top of a PEM provides a suitable interface of the artificial polyelectrolyte composite with biological systems, since on one hand it minimizes non-specific interactions and on the other hand it enables the tailoring of the surface with specific interactions through the incorporation of membrane-associated biological functions. [18][19][20] For capsules consisting of polyelectrolyte multilayers, the applications of polyelectrolyte supported lipid layers focus on controlling the permeability of the supporting capsule walls.…”

“…Recently, this technique has been applied for the fabrication of tiny three-dimensional microstructures, called hollow polyelectrolyte capsules, by LbL coating of a sacrificial template followed by the dissolution of this template. [8,9] Due to the multifunctionality of the LbL technique, it is possible to fabricate tailor-made capsules with functionalized [10,11] or stimuli-responsive [12,13] walls which could be promising for drug-delivery applications. [14,15] Nanoparticle-containing capsules have already been reported in literature, although in all cases the number of nanoparticle layers was limited to one [16] or the nanoparticles were introduced (e.g., by synthesis within the capsule wall) after the fabrication of the capsules.…”

“…Thus, core-shell designed nanoparticles, specifically, are considered advanced nanostructures offering superior advantages over traditional nanomaterials, giving significance and need for their use [20][21][22][23]. Caruso and group have previously highlighted the feasibility and potential of the L-b-L technique in formulating novel particles and modifying basic polymeric bio-inspired colloidal systems [23].…”

“…A simple, well-known and highly-adaptable method is the layer-by-layer (L-b-L) self-assembly technique [20]. By dictating and controlling the type, composition, number and thickness of alternating layers surrounding the core, multi-functional core-shell nanostructures of various MW can be formulated where both, magnetic and luminescent layers can be combined to detect and manipulate the particles in situ [23]. Thus, core-shell designed nanoparticles, specifically, are considered advanced nanostructures offering superior advantages over traditional nanomaterials, giving significance and need for their use [20][21][22][23].…”
