Ion-Mediated Structural Discontinuities in Phospholipid Vesicles

Despite intense research, methods for controlling soft matter's spontaneous self-assembly into well-defined layers remain a significant challenge. We observed ion-induced structural discontinuities of phospholipid vesicles that can be exploited for controlled self-assembly of soft materials, us...

520 |a Despite intense research, methods for controlling soft matter's spontaneous self-assembly into well-defined layers remain a significant challenge. We observed ion-induced structural discontinuities of phospholipid vesicles that can be exploited for controlled self-assembly of soft materials, using DOPC and NaCl as a model system. The observations were made for the 0.25 wt % lipid concentration. We used dynamic light scattering, zeta-potential measurement, cryo-electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray, and small-angle neutron scattering to understand the reason for the discontinuities. For salt concentrations below 8 mM, we observed a decrease in the liposome diameter with increased NaCl concentration. Above 8 mM, we measured a discontinuity; the radius increases within a very narrow salt concentration range within less than 0.1 mM and then decreases for values greater than 8 mM. At 75 mM, the radius becomes constant until it grows again at around 500 mM. Microscopy and scattering experiments show a transition from unilamellar to bilamellar at 8 mM and to trilamellar at 75 mM. At 500 mM, we found a heterogeneous liposome system with many different bilayer numbers. All the experimental observations indicate that declining solvent quality and increasing osmotic pressure direct lipids to expel preferentially to the inner compartment. Upon reaching a critical concentration, excess lipids can form a new bilayer. This spontaneous self-assembly process causes simultaneous shrinkage of the aqueous core and expansion of the vesicle. This approach opens an intriguing path for controlling the self-assembly of bioinspired colloids
