What are Some Examples of Amphiphilic Compounds Used in Nanotechnology?
Several amphiphilic compounds are frequently used in nanotechnology:
Phospholipids: Natural amphiphiles forming the basis of liposomes and cell membranes. Block Copolymers: Synthetic amphiphiles that can form various nanostructures for drug delivery and other applications. Surfactants: Used to stabilize nanoparticles and emulsions. Poloxamers: Triblock copolymers used in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
