Novel Vitamin E based Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles
Lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNs) are a promising class of nano-objects characterised by a non-lamellar internal organisation such as inverse bicontinuous cubic or hexagonal structures (cubosomes and hexosomes).The NoVELX project aims to develop new tunable non-lamellar LCNs, both hexosomes and cubosomes, based on derivatives of Vitamin E (VitE) and compatible copolymers, by adjusting their topology and properties based on the copolymer composition and content.
