Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating and analyzing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) made from multifunctional amide-containing thiols, which have potential for tailored interfaces with unique stability and properties.
- Researchers synthesized thiols with a phenylalanine side group and characterized them on gold surfaces using reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS).
- Findings showed that the formation of these SAMs involves a change from a disordered to an ordered structure influenced by hydrogen bonding, with specific vibrational frequency changes observed over time, though the lateral interactions among alkyl chains were weaker compared to typical well-ordered thiol monolayers.
Lipid-based liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) are interesting candidates for drug delivery applications, for instance as solubilizing or encapsulating carriers for intravenous (i.v.) drugs.
