Interactions between PAMAM dendrimers and DOPC lipid multilayers: Membrane thinning and structural disorder

ConclusionsThese results show the complexity of the effect of dendrimer physicochemical properties and the addition method of dendrimers on the structure of mixed dendrimer-DOPC multilayers.General significanceThese insights are useful for fundamental understanding of nanotoxicity and future biomedical application of nanocomposite multilayer materials in which nanoparticles are added for enhanced properties and functionality.Graphical abstract
