Supraparticles (SPs) with unique properties are emerging as versatile platforms for applications in catalysis, photonics, and medicine. However, the synthesis of novel SPs with complex internal structures remains a challenge. Self-Assembled Multilayered Supraparticles (SAMS) presented here are composed of concentric lamellar spherical structures made from metallic nanoparticles, formed from a synergistic three-way interaction phenomenon between gold nanoparticles, lipidoid, and gelatin, exhibiting interlayer spacing of 3.5 ± 0.2 nm within a self-limited 156.8 ± 56.6 nm diameter. The formation is critically influenced by both physical (including nanoparticle size, lipidoid chain length) and chemical factors (including elemental composition, nanoparticle cap, and organic material), which collectively modulate the surface chemistry and hydrophobicity, affecting interparticle interactions. SAMS can efficiently deliver labile payloads such as siRNA, achieving dose-dependent silencing in vivo, while also showing potential for complex payloads such as mRNA. This work not only advances the field of SP design by introducing a new structure and interaction phenomenon but also demonstrates its potential in nanomedicine.
具有独特性质的超粒子(SPs)正成为催化、光子学和医学应用的多功能平台。然而,合成具有复杂内部结构的新型超粒子仍然是一项挑战。本文介绍的自组装多层超粒子(SAMS)由金属纳米颗粒构成的同心层状球形结构组成,这些结构由金纳米颗粒、类脂质和明胶之间的协同三向相互作用现象形成,在直径为156.8 ± 56.6 nm的自限范围内,层间距为3.5 ± 0.2 nm。其形成受到物理因素(包括纳米颗粒大小、类脂质链长度)和化学因素(包括元素组成、纳米颗粒帽和有机材料)的严重影响,这些因素共同调节表面化学性质和疏水性,影响颗粒间相互作用。SAMS可以有效地递送如siRNA等不稳定的负载,在体内实现剂量依赖性沉默,同时对如mRNA等复杂负载也显示出潜力。这项工作不仅通过引入新的结构和相互作用现象推动了超粒子设计领域的发展,还展示了其在纳米医学中的潜力。
