Modulating the NP chemotaxis and responsiveness by tuning the hydrophobicity of the self-assembling units. (a) Original reference oligomer (C10 hydrophobic tails). (b) Hydrophobic groups of the Type-1, Type-2, Type-3, and Type-4 oligomer variants and their corresponding fCG models. (c) Comparison of ΔSASA (NP SASA variation) and percentage of guest release for NPs composed of the different trivalent (−3e) oligomer variants. Same data for the (−2e) NP variants are reported in the Supporting Information (see Figures S8 and S9). (d) Similar NP behaviors can be obtained by NPs composed of oligomer variants having a similar ΔE_ass/ΔE_bind balance. Raw data are shown in transparent colors, solid trend lines are shown to guide the eye.
