Reorientation of Crystalline Block Copolymer Membranes by Phospholipid Hybridization

Abstract: Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly and crystallization determine their fundamental mechanical, optical, and transport properties. Multiple physical and chemical routes to control BCP self-assembly have been developed over the years. In contrast, modulating the crystallization behavior, particularly crystallite size and orientation, has received considerably less attention. This paper underpins that 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) phospholipid additives enable precise control of BCP crystall… Show more

“…One lamellar phase is lipid (MO/DOTAP)-rich, while another is a polymer (PBD- b -PEO)-rich phase (Figure D). The double lamellar systems are consistent with previous observations in DPPC/PBD- b -PEO binary mixtures where DPPC-rich and PBD- b -PEO-rich domains align in registry across multilayers. ,,, …”

“…Co-self-assembly of amphiphilic lipids and block copolymers (BCP) has fascinated a number of soft matter scientists over the past decade as a means to combine the advantages of both molecular systems in a single hybrid structure. Phospholipids are abundant membrane lipids in nature, providing excellent biocompatibility and ability to aggregate into various structures in aqueous environments. Compared with lipids, BCPs have chemical versatility to modulate functional groups but come with a drawback of lower biocompatibility and being less dynamic when transforming from one phase to another.…”

“…[1][2][3] The combination of properties from the polymers and phospholipids allows for a wide range of functionalities, such as biocompatibility, increased stability in aqueous solutions, [4][5][6] controlled release by external stimuli, 7,8 and targeted delivery to specific organs or tissues. 9,10 As a result, hybrid vesicles have been the subject of extensive research to understand their fundamental physical properties [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and to demonstrate their potential as carriers in drug-delivery systems and compartments for nanoreactors and artificial cells. [19][20][21][22][23] In addition to the functionalities mentioned above, the incorporation of specific polymers into liposomes can endow the vesicles with bespoke permeability.…”
