Aqueous self-assembly of a wide range of sophorolipid and glucolipid microbial bioamphiphiles (biosurfactants): considerations on the structure-properties relationship

Niki Baccile, Alexandre Poirier, Patrick Le Griel +5

Sophorolipids are well-known scaled-up microbial glycolipid biosurfactants with a strong potential for commercialization due to their biological origin and mildness in contact with…

Self-Assembly of Rhamnolipids Bioamphiphiles: Understanding Structure-Properties Relationship using Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering

Niki Baccile, Alexandre Poirier, Javier Perez +6

The structure-properties relationship of rhamnolipids, RLs, well known microbial bioamphiphiles (biosurfactants), is exlored in detail by coupling cryogenic transmission electron m…

Shear recovery and temperature stability of Ca2+ and Ag+ glycolipid fibrillar metallogels with unusual -sheet-like domains

Alexandre Poirier, Thomas Bizien, Thomas Zinn +2

Low-molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are small molecules (Mw < ~1 kDa), which form self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFiN) hydrogels in water. The great majority of SAFiN gels is…
