Abstract

We have demonstrated a new approach for imaging nanoscale patterns on three-dimensional submicrometer structures using charged particles. Nanoparticle structures were assembled onto lipid tubules through the sequential adsorption of oppositely charged polymers and silica spheres. For tubules of the zwitterionic lipid DC8,11PC, this process leads to the formation of caps on the ends of the tubules, with 50−100 silica spheres in each cap. For tubules of DC8,11PC mixed with 2% of the charged lipid DC8,9PEOH, the sequential adsorption leads to both end caps and helices of nanoparticles winding around the interior of the tubules. These results give new insight into the pattern of charge in lipid tubules.
