  abstract  = {This paper focused on the synthesis of triangular nanoplatelets in the presence of a tubular network structure. The tubular network structure is formed by adding a strongly alternating polyampholyte, i.e., PalPhBisCarb, to a mixed vesicle system with a negatively charged bilayer containing phosphatidylcholin and AOT. Using the tubular network as a reducing agent in a one-step procedure, triangular and hexagonal nanoplatelets are formed. One can show that the nanoplatelet yield is enhanced by increasing the temperature and decreasing the reaction time. The platelet edge length can be decreased by heating the system up to 100 A degrees C. Due to specific interactions between PalPhBisCarb and the AOT/phospholipid bilayer, stacking and welding effects lead to the formation of ordered platelet structures. The reaction pathway to flat gold nanotriangles is discussed with regard to the twin plane growth model of gold nanoplates.},

  abstract  = {The influence of a polyampholyte, i.e., poly(N,N\’-diallyl-N,N\’-dimethyl-altmaleamic carboxylate) (PalH), on the lamellar liquid crystalline (LC) system sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/decanol/water was investigated by means of microdifferential scanning calorimetry, small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS), and cryo-scanning electron microscopy. After incorporating PalH into the lamellar liquid crystalline system, SAXS measurements show that three different LC phases exist: i.e., a swelling, slightly swelling, and non-swelling one. At pH 4, the positively charged polymer with an extended conformation can directly adsorb at the anionic head groups of the surfactant and more compact vesicles are formed at room temperature. At pH 9, the electrostatic interactions between the polyampholyte (in a more coiled conformation) and the sulfate head groups of the SDS are leveled off and incompact vesicles are formed at room temperature. That means in presence of the polyampholyte the morphology of the LC phase, i.e., the supramolecular vesicle structure, can be tuned by varying the pH and/or the temperature.},
