Engineering amphiphilic alkenyl lipids for self-assembly in functional hybrid nanostructures.

ABSTRACT: The development of biocompatible hybrid nanosystems for advanced functional applications presents significant challenges to the research community. Key obstacles include the poor solubility of these nanosystems in water and the difficulty of precisely controlling their nanostructure dimensions and composition. A promising approach to overcoming these challenges is the self-assembly of surfactant-based building blocks into well-ordered hybrid nanostructures. In this study, we explore the relationship between structure and self-assembly in novel low molecular weight amphiphilic molecules to produce stable and biocompatible hybrid nanostructures. We investigated the self-assembly behavior of two families of amphiphiles derived from alkenyl lipids with one or two double bonds, leading to disti
