TY - CONF A1 - Bertin, Annabelle A1 - Taabache, Soraya A1 - Maskos, Michael T1 - Controlled self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles in micromixers N2 - The controlled synthesis of supramolecular aggregates formed by the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles is a challenging task. Conventional batch-based techniques such as the solvent injection method or the film hydration method typically go along with a lack of control over mixing and thus over size, morphology and size distribution. The micromixer technology is a promising method for the controlled preparation of supramolecular assemblies as it allows control of mixing at microscale level. In addition, such microfluidic systems benefit from a high mixing efficiency, a low mixing time as well as from a reproducible and continuous synthesis. Herein, we report on the microfluidic-controlled self-assembly of several dendritic amphiphiles and the impact of the mixing parameters on the self-assembly process.

T1 - Microfluidic-Assisted Self-Assembly of Dendritic Amphiphiles N2 - The controlled production of supramolecular aggregates formed by the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles is of great interest owing to their potential application in the fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Dendritic amphiphiles as building blocks offer the advantage that their structure and size can be precisely tuned through organic synthesis. This synthetic flexibility enables the fine-tuning of the hydrophobic to hydrophilic ratio of the dendritic segments, which mainly controls the morphology of the self-assembled structures. A promising method for the controlled preparation of supramolecular assemblies is based on the use of micromixers.[5,6] Due to their mixing times in the range of milliseconds at the microscale level, the application of such microfluidic systems benefits from a high mixing efficiency, a low mixing time and a reproducible synthesis compared to conventional batch-based techniques such as the solvent injection method or the film hydration method. Herein, we report on the microfluidic-assisted self-assembly of several dendritic amphiphiles and the impact of the mixing parameters on the self-assembly process.
