Abstract
To disperse fatty acids in aqueous solution, choline, a quaternary ammonium ion, has been used recently. So far, only the self-assembly of myristic acid (MA) in the presence of choline hydroxide as a function of the molar ratio has been investigated, and, thus, the current understanding of these fatty acid systems is still limited. We investigated the self-assembly of palmitic acid (PA) in the presence of choline hydroxide (ChOH) as a function of the molar ratio (R) between ChOH and PA. The self-assemblies were characterized by phase contrast microscopy, cryo-TEM, small-angle X-ray scattering, and 2H NMR. The ionization state of PA was determined by pH, conductivity, and FT-IR measurements. With increase in R, various self-assembled structures, including vesicles, lamellar phase, rigid membranes (large sheets, tubules, cones, and polyhedrals), and micelles, form in the PA/ChOH system, different from those of the MA/ChOH system. The change in R induces pH variation and, consequently, a change in the PA ionization state, which, in turn, regulates the molecular interactions, including hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction, leading to various self-assemblies. Temperature is an important factor used to tune the self-assembly transitions. The fatty acid choline systems studied here potentially may be applicable in medicine, chemical engineering, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Solute diffusion within lyotropic liquid crystal gels prepared from a series of water and decaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12EO10) mixtures was explored by variable area fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Aqueous C12EO10 gels were prepared in concentrations ranging from 55 : 45 to 70 : 30 wt% of surfactant and water. Small angle X-ray scattering revealed that these gels comprise hexagonal mesophases of cylindrical micelles. Micelle spacing was found to decrease with increasing C12EO10 concentration. Three different Nile red (NR) dyes were employed as model solutes and were separately doped into the gels at nanomolar levels. These include a hydrophilic form of NR incorporating an anionic sulfonate group (NRSO3-), a hydrophobic form incorporating a fourteen-carbon alkane tail (NRC14), and commercial NR as an intermediate case. FCS data acquired from the gels revealed that NRSO3- diffused primarily in 3D. Its diffusion coefficient exhibited a monotonic decrease with increasing gel concentration and micelle packing density, consistent with confinement of its motions by its exclusion from the micelle cores. NRC14 exhibited the smallest diffusion coefficient, most likely due to its larger size and enhanced interactions with the micelle cores. NR yielded an intermediate diffusion coefficient and the most anomalous behavior of the three dyes, attributable to its facile partitioning between core and corona regions, and greater participation by 1D diffusion. The results of these studies afford an improved understanding of molecular mass transport through soft-matter nanomaterials like those being developed for use in drug delivery and membrane based chemical separations.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Non-ionic surfactants containing polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains are widely used in drug formulations, cosmetics, paints, textiles and detergents. High quality molecular dynamics models for PEO surfactants can give us detailed, atomic-scale information about the behavior of surfactant/water mixtures. SIMULATIONS We used two molecular dynamics force fields (FFs), 2016H66 and 53A6DBW, to model the simple non-ionic PEO surfactant, hexaoxyethylene dodecyl ether (C12E6). We investigated surfactant/water mixtures that span the phase diagram of starting from randomly distributed arrangements. In some cases, we also started with prebuilt, approximate models. The simulations results were compared with the experimentally observed phase behavior. FINDINGS Overall, this study shows that the spontaneous self-assembly of PEO non-ionic surfactants into different colloidal structures can be accurately modeled with MD simulations using the 2016H66 FF although transitions to well-formed hexagonal phase are slow. Of the two FFs investigated, the 2016H66 FF better reproduces the experimental phase behavior across all regions of the C12E6/water phase diagram.

Abstract
An approach to incorporate a bioactive hydrophobic substance, C22H32N4O7 tetrapeptide (TP), into the structure of the hexagonal mesophases C12EO10/H2O and C12EO10/La(III)/H2O was proposed. Concentration and temperature ranges of mesophases in the C12EO10/H2O/TP and C12EO10/La(III)/H2O/TP systems were established. The analysis of the X-ray diffraction data revealed a change in the structural characteristics of mesophases in the presence of tetrapeptide. Formation of a denser packing of molecules in the mesophases with TP was detected. Based on the FTIR spectroscopy data, intermolecular changes in the systems were examined. Pulsed-gradient spin-echo NMR self-diffusion experiments were performed to characterize the structure of lyomesophases depending on system composition and temperature. The degree of hydration of water molecules in lyomesophases was analyzed. The data confirmed successful incorporation of tetrapeptide into the structure of lyomesophase and, therefore, the possibility of using hexagonal mesophases for both incapsulation and delivery of biomolecules.

Abstract
The macroscopic physical properties of a liquid crystalline material depend on both the properties of the individual crystallites and the details of their spatial arrangement. We propose a diffusion MRI method to estimate the director orientations of a lyotropic liquid crystal as a spatially resolved field of Saupe order tensors. The method relies on varying the shape of the diffusion-encoding tensor to disentangle the effects of voxel-scale director orientational order and the local diffusion anisotropy of the solvent. Proof-of-concept experiments are performed on water in lamellar and reverse hexagonal liquid crystalline systems with intricate patterns of director orientations.

Abstract
The ability of lyotropic liquid crystals to form intricate structures on a range of length scales can be utilized for the synthesis of structurally complex inorganic materials, as well as in devices for controlled drug delivery. Here we employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for non-invasive characterization of nano-, micro-, and millimeter scale structures in liquid crystals. The structure is mirrored in the translational and rotational motion of the water, which we assess by measuring spatially resolved self-diffusion tensors and spectra. Our approach differs from previous works in that the MRI parameters are mapped with spatial resolution in all three dimensions, thus allowing for detailed studies of liquid crystals with complex millimeter-scale morphologies that are stable on the measurement time-scale of 10 hours. The data conveys information on the nanometer-scale structure of the liquid crystalline phase, while the combination of diffusion and data permits an estimate of the orientational distribution of micrometer-scale anisotropic domains. We study lamellar phases consisting of the nonionic surfactant C10E3 in O, and follow their structural equilibration after a temperature jump and the cessation of shear. Our experimental approach may be useful for detailed characterization of liquid crystalline materials with structures on multiple length scales, as well as for studying the mechanisms of phase transitions.

Abstract
Vesicles are the most common form of bilayer structures in fatty acid/soap mixtures in aqueous solutions; however, a peculiar bilayer structure called a "planar sheet" was found for the first time in the mixtures. In the past few decades, considerable research has focused on the formation theory of bilayers in fatty acid/soap mixtures. The hydrogen bond theory has been widely accepted by scientists to explain the formation of bilayers. However, except for the hydrogen bond, no other driving forces were proposed systematically. In this work, three kinds of weak interactions were investigated in detail, which could perfectly demonstrate the formation mechanism of bilayer structures in the fatty acid/soap mixtures in aqueous solutions. (i) The influence of hydrophobic interaction was detected by changing the chain length of fatty acid (C(n)H(2n+1)COOH), in which n = 10 to 18, the phase behavior was investigated, and the phase region was presented. With the help of cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) observations, deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance ((2)H NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, the vesicles and planar sheets were determined. The chain length of C(n)H(2n+1)COOH has an important effect on the physical state of the hydrophobic chain, resulting in an obvious difference in the viscoelasticity of the solution samples. (ii) The existence of hydrogen bonds between fatty acids and their soaps in aqueous solutions was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and molecule dynamical simulation. From the pH measurements, the pH ranges of the bilayer formation were at the pKa values of fatty acids, respectively. (iii) Counterions can be embedded in the stern layer of the bilayers and screen the electrostatic repulsion between the COO(-) anionic headgroups. FT-IR characterization demonstrated a bidentate bridging coordination mode between counterions and carboxylates. The conductivity measurements provided the degree of counterion binding (β = 0.854), indicating the importance of the counterions.

Abstract
We present a new strategy to control the anisotropic diffusion of hydrophilic drugs in lyotropic liquid crystals via the dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles in the mesophase, followed by reorientation of the mesophase domains via an external magnetic field. We select a lipid reverse hexagonal phase doped with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and glucose and caffeine as model hybrid mesophase and hydrophilic drugs, respectively. Upon cooling through the disorder-order phase transition of the hexagonal phase and under exposure to an external moderate magnetic field (1.1 T), both the nanoparticles and the hexagonal domains align with their columnar axes along the field direction. As a result, the water nanochannels of the inverted hexagonal domains also align parallel to the field direction, leading to a drug diffusion coefficient parallel to the field direction much larger than what was measured perpendicularly: in the case of glucose, for example, this difference in diffusion coefficients approaches 1 order of magnitude. Drug diffusion of the unaligned reverse hexagonal phase, which consists of randomly distributed domains, shows values in between the parallel and transversal diffusion values. This study shows that modifying the overall alignment of anisotropic mesophases via moderate external fields is a valuable means to control the corresponding transport tensor of the mesophase and demonstrates that the orientation of the domains plays an important role in the diffusion process of foreign hydrophilic molecules.

Abstract
The orientation of montmorillonite clays induced by a static magnetic field is quantified by using (2)H NMR spectroscopy. Indeed, the residual quadrupolar splitting of the (2)H resonance line measured for heavy water is a direct consequence of the specific orientation of the clay platelets in the static magnetic field. In the dilute regime, this residual splitting increases linearly with clay concentration, which confirms that the clay/clay electrostatic repulsions remain negligible by comparison with the diamagnetic coupling of these anisotropic platelets. At higher concentration, the electrostatic repulsion between clay particles markedly enhances the detected splitting. Such enhancement is well predicted by numerical simulations. By varying the size of the clay platelets and the strength of the static magnetic field, it is possible to evaluate the order of magnitude of the diamagnetic susceptibility of these anisotropic colloids.

Abstract
We report a detailed analysis of deuteron NMR spectra of micellar, lamellar, cubic, and hexagonal mesophases in the aqueous non-ionic surfactant system C(12)E(6)/water. Samples are prepared with and without shear. Particular attention is paid to an interesting temperature-driven phase sequence that includes all of the above phases that are studied before and after shear parallel or perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Surprising memory effects are found across mesophase transitions. These memory effects provide clues to the structure of the various phases.

Abstract
The use of surfactant mesophases such as vesicular and lyotropic mesophases as templates for the preparation of nanostructured polymers by polymerization is reviewed. Recent developments using polymerizable and polymeric surfactants in mesophase formation and polymerization are also represented with examples. The formations of various novel materials including nanocapsules, vesicle-polymer architecture, mesoporous polymers and functional nano-composites which would be unobtainable through conventional techniques are highlighted. The effects of reaction thermodynamics and kinetics on templated polymerizations are also discussed.

Abstract
Although water is the chief component of living cells, food, and personal care products, the supramolecular components make their viscosity larger than that of water by several orders of magnitude. Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), NMR, and rheology data, we show how the viscosity changes from the value for water at the molecular scale to the large macroviscosity. We determined the viscosity experienced by nanoprobes (of sizes from 0.28 to 190 nm) in aqueous micellar solution of hexaethylene-glycol-monododecyl-ether (in a range of concentration from 0.1% w/w to 35% w/w) and identified a clear crossover at the length scale of 17 +/- 2 nm (slightly larger than persistence length of micelles) at which viscosity acquires its macroscopic value. The sharp dependence of the viscosity coefficients on the size of the probe in the nanoregime has important consequences for diffusion-limited reactions in crowded environments (e.g., living cells).

Abstract
Small proteins move in crowded cell compartments by anomalous diffusion. In many of them, e.g., the endoplasmic reticulum, the proteins move between lipid membranes in the aqueous lumen. Molecular crowding in vitro offers a systematic way to study anomalous and normal diffusion in a well controlled environment not accessible in vivo. We prepared a crowded environment in vitro consisting of hexaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C(12)E(6)) nonionic surfactant and water and observed lysozyme diffusion between elongated micelles. We have fitted the data obtained in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy using an anomalous diffusion model and a two-component normal diffusion model. For a small concentration of surfactant (below 4 wt %) the data can be fitted by single-component normal diffusion. For larger concentrations the normal diffusion fit gave two components: one very slow and one fast. The amplitude of the slow component grows with C(12)E(6) concentration. The ratio of diffusion coefficients (slow to fast) is on the order of 0.1 for all concentrations of surfactant in the solution. The fast diffusion is due to free proteins while the slow one is due to the protein-micelle complexes. The protein-micelle interaction is weak since even in a highly concentrated solution (35% of C(12)E(6)) the amplitude of the slow mode is only 10%, despite the fact that the average distance between the micelles is the same as the size of the protein. The anomalous diffusion model gave the anomaly index (r(2)(t) approximately t(alpha)), alpha monotonically decreasing from alpha = 1 (at 4% surfactant) to alpha = 0.88 (at 37% surfactant). The fits for two-component normal diffusion and anomalous diffusion were of equally good quality, but the physical interpretation was only straightforward for the former.
