Engineering amphiphilic alkenyl lipids for self-assembly in functional hybrid nanostructures by Raúl Gimeno-Ferrero, Victoria Valdivia, Inmaculada Fernández, María Luisa García-Martín, Manuel Pernia Leal

“…We investigated the self-assembly behavior of two families of amphiphiles derived from alkenyl lipids with one or two double bonds, leading to distinct hybrid supramolecular structures facilitated by the incorporation of hydrophobic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as templates. The presence of double bonds in the lipid tail and the morphology of the amphiphile influence the arrangement on the hydrophobic NPs. …”
