Using a chitosan nanolayer as an efficient pH buffer to protect pH-sensitive supramolecular assemblies.
It is attractive to control the properties of macro objects and films by employing simple nanolayer composites, as in the case of nanoarchitectured Layer-by-Layer (LbL) coating. In this paper, we use chitosan as a surface-based pH buffer to protect adsorbed supramolecular fibres from pH-mediated disassembly. Protons are generated on a titania surface under illumination at 405 nm leading to an a...
متن کاملpH and Amphiphilic Structure Direct Supramolecular Behavior in Biofunctional Assemblies
Supramolecular self-assembly offers promising new ways to control nanostructure morphology and respond to external stimuli. A pH-sensitive self-assembled system was developed to both control nanostructure shape and respond to the acidic microenvironment of tumors using self-assembling peptide amphiphiles (PAs). By incorporating an oligo-histidine H6 sequence, we developed two PAs that self-asse...
متن کاملHigh-strength, healable, supramolecular polymer nanocomposites.
A supramolecular polymer blend, formed via π-π interactions between a π-electron rich pyrenyl end-capped oligomer and a chain-folding oligomer containing pairs of π-electron poor naphthalene-diimide (NDI) units, has been reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to afford a healable nanocomposite material. Nanocomposites with varying weight percentage of CNCs (from 1.25 to 20.0 wt %) within...
متن کاملExceptionally stable, redox-active supramolecular protein assemblies with emergent properties.
The designed assembly of proteins into well-defined supramolecular architectures not only tests our understanding of protein-protein interactions, but it also provides an opportunity to tailor materials with new physical and chemical properties. Previously, we described that RIDC3, a designed variant of the monomeric electron transfer protein cytochrome cb562, could self-assemble through Zn(2+)...
متن کاملSurface Molecular Tailoring Using pH-Switchable Supramolecular Dendron-Ligand Assemblies
The rational design of materials with tailored properties is of paramount importance for a wide variety of biological, medical, electronic and optical applications. Here we report molecular level control over the spatial distribution of functional groups on surfaces utilizing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of pH-switchable surface-appended pseudorotaxanes. The supramolecular systems were cons...
