4. Redox-Responsive Self-Assembled Amphiphilic Materials: Review and Application to Biological Systems
-
William L. Odette
Abstract
Redox-responsive self-assembled materials comprise a broad and diverse field employing a range of structures including polymers, dendrimers, nanoparticles, and supramolecular nanosheet gels. Such materials may be employed in a range of applications including energy storage, electronics, sensors, catalysis and biomedicine. In this chapter we present a review of redox-responsive lipid (and lipid-like) materials in addition to current developments and future directions in the field. Our discussion focuses primarily micellar and liposomal systems in the context of biomedical applications.
