2D/3D transformation of lipid bilayers controlled by the peptide and comb-type copolymer. a The amphiphilic E5 peptide and the cationic comb-type copolymer induced 2D lipid nanosheet formation. Scale: 10 µm. b Structures of the cationic comb-type copolymers. c CD spectra of the E5 peptide with/without the copolymers. d Fraction of 2D sheets as a function of the grafted chain content. e Structure of the hetero-grafted copolymer. f Left: Temperature dependency of the 2D sheet fraction with the hetero-grafted copolymer. Right: 2D sheet formation triggered by temperature changes. The samples are referred to as 5kXN/YD, where N indicates the NIPAAm and X and Y are the mol% of the grafted PNIPAAm and Dex, respectively.
