Hypothesis
Macrocyclic amphiphiles form interesting self-assembling structures, including solid lipid nanoparticles, which have potential applications in drug encapsulation. Aryl-extended calixpyrroles, which act as anion binding hosts, are expected to form solid lipid nanoparticles, even though the alkyl chains have unusual perpendicular geometry with respect to the hydrophilic head group. The preparation conditions and the alkyl chain length should affect the size and stability of the particles.
Experiments
Solid lipid nanoparticles of two aryl-extended calixpyrroles with resorcinol walls and either meso-dodecyl or meso-methyl alkyl chains were compared. Ethanolic solutions of the calixpyrroles were mixed with water and the resulting nanoparticle dispersions were studied with dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The effect of different calixpyrrole/ethanol/water ratios on particle size was tested. The surface charge of the particles at different pH and NaCl concentration was determined by zeta potential measurements.
Findings
The meso-dodecyl calixpyrrole produced small nanoparticles with mean hydrodynamic diameters between 40 and 70 nm in 0.86–4.28 M ethanol. The particles were stable in solution for several months. Particles prepared from meso-methyl calixpyrrole were larger and less stable. The smallest particles were obtained with low calixpyrrole concentration and calixpyrrole/ethanol ratio. Larger ethanol/water ratio induced broader particle size distributions. Increasing pH aided the stability of the particles due to increased negative surface charge.

The “nitrogen effect” : Complexation with macrocycles potentiates fused heterocycles to form halogen bonds in competitive solvents
Twum, Kwaku; Nadimi, Sanaz; Osei, Frank Boateng; Puttreddy, Rakesh; Ojong, Yvonne Bessem; Hayward, John J.; Rissanen, Kari; Trant, John F.; Beyeh, Ngong Kodiah (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2023)Weak intermolecular forces are typically very difficult to observe in highly competitive polar protic solvents as they are overwhelmed by the quantity of competing solvent. This is even more challenging for three-component ... -
Exploring potential diffusion pathways of biorefinery innovations : An agent‐based simulation approach for facilitating shared value creation
Wenger, Julia; Jäger, Georg; Näyhä, Annukka; Plakolb, Simon; Krassnitzer, Paul Erich; Stern, Tobias (Wiley, 2024)In many European countries with plentiful forest resources, novel forest-based businesses play a key role in the transition from our current fossil-based economy towards a circular bioeconomy. For example, kraft lignin, a ... -

Zhang, Guanghui; Li, Xueyan; Lu, Yingzhi; Tiihonen, Timo; Chang, Zheng; Cong, Fengyu (Elsevier, 2023)Background: Temporal principal component analysis (tPCA) has been widely used to extract event-related potentials (ERPs) at group level of multiple subjects ERP data and it assumes that the underlying factor loading is ... -
Analysis of modulations of mental fatigue on intra-individual variability from single-trial event related potentials
Liu, Jia; Zhu, Yongjie; Cong, Fengyu; Björkman, Anders; Malesevic, Nebojsa; Antfolk, Christian (Elsevier, 2024)Background Intra-individual variability (IIV), a measure of variance within an individual’s performance, has been demonstrated as metrics of brain responses for neural functionality. However, how mental fatigue modulates ... -
