Molecular – mesophase structure coupling in micellar lyotropic liquid crystals
Abstract: It is now known that lipids can self-assemble into two different inverse micellar lyotropic phases where the micelles pack into either a cubic or 3-D hexagonal lattice. These phases have the key property that they are stable in excess water and so have the potential to be extremely useful in biological and biomedical applications such as drug storage and controlled release networks, or as nanoreactor arrays. We aim to understand the lipid molecular features that preferentially drive formation of one or other of these meso-phases. This will be vital to unlocking our ability to exploit the biotechnical potential of these structures and will allow us to formulate engineering rules to tailor micellar structures for particular applications.
