Abstract
A triple-layer model of the mica/water electrical double layer (EDL) unifies prediction of zeta potential, ion-exchange, and surface-force isotherms. The theory treats cations as partially dehydrated and complexed specifically to the anionic exchange sites of mica. A diffuse layer commencing at the outer Helmholtz plane (OHP) balances the surface charge not neutralized by adsorbed cations in the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP). Ion-binding equilibrium constants are assessed from zeta-potential measurements and used thereafter to predict ion-exchange isotherms and surface forces. Basal-plane mica surface charge is almost completely neutralized by specific binding of cations, including hydronium ions. The charge in the diffuse layer is only a few percent of the mica crystallographic charge density but leads to long-range electrostatic interactions between charged surfaces. The Grahame triple-layer model of the aqueous EDL provides a robust, quantitative, and unified description of the mica/water interface.

Abstract
The self-assembly and adsorption of the surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) at the muscovite mica-water interface are studied using molecular-dynamics simulations. Adsorption takes place by an ion-exchange mechanism, in which K+ ions are replaced by the organic alkylammonium cations from the solution. Simulations are performed with and without the surface K+ ions, with pure water, and with the surfactants in aqueous solution. CTAB and DDAB form micellar structures in bulk solution, and in the absence of the surface K+ ions, they quickly adsorb and form bilayer structures. The bilayer ordering of CTAB is not perfect, and there is a competition with the formation of cylindrical micelles. DDAB, on the other hand, forms a well-ordered bilayer structure, with the innermost layer showing strong orientational ordering, and the outermost layer being more disordered. The simulations with pure water highlight the molecular ordering and strong electrostatic interactions with the mica-surface atoms. Using simulated scattering length density profiles, the results are compared directly and critically with existing neutron reflectivity measurements. The simulation results are generally consistent with experiments, and yield new insights on the molecular-scale ordering at the mica-water interface.

Abstract
Biotite, also called black mica (BM), is a group of sheet silicate minerals with great potential in various fields. However, synthesis of high-quality BM nanosheets (NSs) remains a huge challenge. Here, an exfoliation approach is provided that combines calcination, n-butyllithium exchange and intercalation, and liquid exfoliating processes for the high-yield synthesis of ultrathin BM NSs. Due to the presence of MgO, Fe2O3, and FeO in these NSs, PEGylated BM can be engineered as an intelligent theranostic platform with the following unique features: i) Fe3+ can damage the tumor microenvironment (TME) through glutathione consumption and O2 production; ii) Generated O2 can be further catalyzed by MgO with oxygen vacancy to generate ·O2 -; iii) The Fe2+-catalyzed Fenton reaction can produce ·OH by disproportionation reactions of H2O2 in the TME; iv) Reactions in (i) and (iii) circularly regenerate Fe2+ and Fe3+ for continuous consumption of glutathione and H2O2 and constant production of ·OH and O2; v) The NSs can be triggered by a 650 nm laser to generate ·O2 - from O2 as well as by an 808 nm laser to generate local hyperthermia; and vi) The fluorescent, photoacoustic, and photothermal imaging capabilities of the engineered NSs allow for multimodal imaging-guided breast cancer treatment.

Salts drive controllable multilayered upright assembly of amyloid-like peptides at mica/water interface. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2013; 110:8543-8.

Abstract
Surface-assisted self-assembly of amyloid-like peptides has received considerable interest in both amyloidosis research and nanotechnology in recent years. Despite extensive studies, some controlling factors, such as salts, are still not well understood, even though it is known that some salts can promote peptide self-assemblies through the so-called "salting-out" effect. However, they are usually noncontrollable, disordered, amorphous aggregates. Here, we show via a combined experimental and theoretical approach that a conserved consensus peptide NH2-VGGAVVAGV-CONH2 (GAV-9) (from representative amyloidogenic proteins) can self-assemble into highly ordered, multilayered nanofilaments, with surprising all-upright conformations, under high-salt concentrations. Our atomic force microscopy images also demonstrate that the vertical stacking of multiple layers is highly controllable by tuning the ionic strength, such as from 0 mM (monolayer) to 100 mM (mainly double layer), and to 250 mM MgCl2 (double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple layers). Our atomistic molecular dynamics simulations then reveal that these individual layers have very different internal nanostructures, with parallel β-sheets in the first monolayer but antiparallel β-sheets in the subsequent upper layers due to their different microenvironment. Further studies show that the growth of multilayered, all-upright nanostructures is a common phenomenon for GAV-9 at the mica/water interface, under a variety of salt types and a wide range of salt concentrations.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of epitaxial fibril formation has been investigated for GAV-9 (NH(3)(+)-VGGAVVAGV-CONH(2)), an amyloid-like peptide extracted from a consensus sequence of amyloidogenic proteins, which assembles with very different morphologies, "upright" on mica and "flat" on the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Our all-atom molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the strong electrostatic interaction induces the "upright" conformation on mica, whereas the hydrophobic interaction favors the "flat" conformation on HOPG. We also show that the epitaxial pattern on mica is ensured by the lattice matching between the anisotropic binding sites of the basal substrate and the molecular dimension of GAV-9, accompanied with a long-range order of well-defined β-strands. Furthermore, the binding free energy surfaces indicate that the longitudinal assembly growth is predominantly driven by the hydrophobic interaction along the longer crystallographic unit cell direction of mica. These findings provide a molecular basis for the surface-assisted molecular assembly, which might also be useful for the design of de novo nanodevices.

Abstract
A surprising "upright" fibrilar conformation (with a height of ~2.6 nm) was observed with in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) for an amyloid-like peptide (NH(2)-VGGAVVAV-COHN(2)) on mica surface, which is very different from its "flat" conformation (with a much smaller height of ~0.9 nm) on the HOPG surface. Our all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal that it is the strong electrostatic interactions between the N-terminus of the peptide and the mica surface that result in an upright conformation and a highly ordered β-stranded structure on mica, with a height of 2.5 ± 0.1 nm, consistent with the AFM experiment. Similarly, our MD simulations show that the same peptides adopt a flat conformation on HOPG surfaces due to the favorable hydrophobic interactions with HOPG. Our simulations also indicate that epitaxial patterns found in mica are preferentially controlled by anisotropic binding sites commensurate with the inherent crystallographic unit cell of the basal substrate.

Abstract
This review aims to present recent advances in the synthesis and structure characterization as well as the properties of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. The advent of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites has revolutionized research into polymer composite materials. Nanocomposites are organic-inorganic hybrid materials in which at least one dimension of the filler is less than 100 nm. A number of synthesis routes have been developed in the recent years to prepare these materials, which include intercalation of polymers or pre-polymers from solution, in-situ polymerization, melt intercalation etc. The nanocomposites where the filler platelets can be dispersed in the polymer at the nanometer scale owing to the specific filler surface modifications, exhibit significant improvement in the composite properties, which include enhanced mechanical strength, gas barrier, thermal stability, flame retardancy etc. Only a small amount of filler is generally required for the enhancement in the properties, which helps the composite materials retain transparency and low density.

Abstract
We studied the release and transfer of polystyrene (PS) microdots on mica. The PS dots were released from the mica in water. The release was affected by the density of K(+) ions on the mica surface, which was controlled by pretreatment with K(2)CO(3) solutions. The release of PS dots became dominant at the concentrations above [K(+)]crit = 1 x 10(-4) M in the K(2)CO(3) solution. In this concentration region, repulsive forces appeared as a result of the hydration of K(+) ions on the mica (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 1981, 83, 531). This result suggests that the repulsive hydration force causes the release of the PS dots. Followed by the release process, we successfully demonstrated the transfer of the array of PS dots from the mica to another substrate.

Abstract
Montmorillonite platelets were modified with ammonium ions of different chemical architectures in order to study the effect of ammonium ions on the extent of surface reactions with long chain fatty acids. Varying number of hydroxyl groups and the presence of octadecyl chains in the ammonium modifications were the attributes studied. The outcome of the surface esterification was analyzed by thermogravimetric studies, IR spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction. The extent of surface reaction was observed to be extremely dependent on the chemical architecture of the ammonium ion attached to the surface. Different resulting interlayer polarity and swelling of the modified clay in the solvent owing to the solvent-modification interactions led to different extents of surface esterification. In general, it was observed that increasing the number of hydroxyl groups in combination with the octadecyl chain present in the modification was successful in generating high density brushes on the clay surface which also was responsible for achieving higher basal plane spacing of the montmorillonite platelets owing to the reduction of electrostatic interactions holding them.

Abstract
Polymerization of lauryl methacrylate "to" and "from" the surface of montmorillonite platelets was studied under a range of different reaction conditions. The polymerization was performed in order to achieve better organic coverage of the platelets, thus facilitating their exfoliation in the polymer matrices. For polymerization "to" the surface, a methacrylic functionality was first generated on the clay surface which was subsequently polymerized with the external lauryl methacrylate monomer. Substantial amounts of the polymer could be attached to the surface when lower polymerization temperatures and longer reaction times were used. Bulk polymerization was more effective in increasing the amount of polymer mass on the surface. In order to achieve polymerization "from" the surface, a bicationic initiator was first ionically bound on the surface followed by polymerization with lauryl methacrylate. Under the nonliving conditions, however, no significant amount of polymer could be grown from the surface. Nitroxide-mediated living polymerization was successful in eliminating suspected termination reactions leading to substantial gains in the organic mass bound to clay surfaces. Care was taken to avoid the presence of excess of unbound ammonium ions which can interfere in the grafting of polymer chains on the surface. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy in conjunction with thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the grafting of the polymer chains on the surface.

Abstract
Prions can be disseminated in soils. Their interaction with soil minerals is a key factor for the assessment of risks associated with the transport of their infectivity. We did not examine here the infectivity itself but the adsorption kinetics of an ovine recombinant prion protein (ovine PrPrec), as a noninfectious model protein, on muscovite mica, a phyllosilicate with surface properties analogous to soil clays, in conditions of laminar flow through a channel. The protein was labeled with (125)I, and its adsorption examined between pH 4.0 and 9.0. At wall shear rate 100 s(-1), we found the process to be controlled mainly by transport at the beginning of the adsorption process. Additional experiments at 1000 s(-1) (pH 5 and 6) determined that the diffusion coefficient was in accordance with the hydrodynamic radius measured by size exclusion chromatography. The pseudo-plateau of the interfacial concentration with time was compatible with more than a monolayer and suggests the presence of aggregates. Desorption was not observed in the presence of buffer between pH 4 and 9 and sheep plasma, while the addition of alkaline detergent or 10(-1) M NaOH allowed an almost complete removal from the interface. The ensemble of results suggests that the largely irreversible adsorption of the ovine PrPrec onto mica is mainly due to electrostatic attraction between the protein and the highly negatively charged mica surface. Possible consequences for the mode of dissemination of prion proteins in soils are indicated.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is believed to have an important function in the boundary biolubrication of articular cartilage. Using a Surface Forces Apparatus, we tested the tribological properties of surface bound, rather than "free" hyaluronan. The grafting process of the polyelectrolyte included either a biological route via an HA-binding protein or a chemical reaction to covalently bind the polymer to a lipid bilayer coated surface. In another reaction, we constructed a surface with covalently grafted hylan (crosslinked hyaluronan). We studied the normal and shear forces between these surfaces. None of the systems demonstrated comparable lubrication to that found between cartilage surfaces except at very low loads. Both grafted hyaluronan and hylan generated coefficients of friction between 0.15 and 0.3. Thus, the polysaccharide, which is a constituent of the lamina splendens (outermost cartilage layer), is not expected to be the responsible molecule for the great lubricity of cartilage; however, it may contribute to the load bearing and wear protection of these surfaces. This was concluded from the results with hylan, where a thin gel layer was sufficient to shield the underlying surfaces from damage even at applied pressures of over 200 atmospheres during shear. Our study shows that a low coefficient of friction is not a requirement for, or necessarily a measure of, wear protection.

Abstract
We examined the adsorption kinetics of alpha-chymotrypsin (pH 8.6, 10(-2) to 0.5 M Tris buffer) on muscovite mica in conditions of laminar flow through a slit. The range of buffer concentrations is between two limits: (i) no adsorption in 1 M Tris and (ii) no desorption in 10(-3) M Tris. Studying the dependence of adsorption kinetics on the wall shear rate leads to the determination of the interfacial adsorption kinetic constant ka and the diffusion coefficient. The obtained value for the diffusion coefficient is close to the one expected from the molecular size of alpha-chymotrypsin. The interfacial adsorption kinetic constant of alpha-chymotrypsin decreases when ionic strength increases, while the initial desorption constant (over a part of all the adsorbed population) shows the contrary. Although alpha-chymotrypsin is almost at its isoelectric point, the effect of ionic strength on the adsorption kinetics suggests the importance of electrostatic interactions between the protein and mica. We observed an increase in the adsorption rate, at a surface coverage near 0.14 microg cm(-2), for adsorption in 10(-2) M Tris and the low wall shear rates (<300 s(-1)). This change in the adsorption rate suggests a structural transition, that we assume again to be due to electrostatic interactions, but between proteins. The large dipole moment of the protein may induce this transition, illustrated here by the ferroelectric/antiferroelectric pattern. The variation of the zeta potential with interfacial concentration seems to be in agreement with such a model.

Abstract
We use molecular dynamics as a tool to understand the structure and phase transitions [Osman, M. A.; et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2000, 104, 4433-4439. Osman, M. A.; et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 653-662] in alkylammonium micas. The consistent force field 91 is extended for accurate simulation of mica and related minerals. We investigate mica sheets with 12 octadecyltrimethylammonium (C(18)) ions or 12 dioctadecyldimethylammonium (2C(18)) ions, respectively, as single and layered structures at different temperatures with periodicity in the xy plane by NVT dynamics. The alkylammonium ions reside preferably above the cavities in the mica surface with an aluminum-rich boundary. The nitrogen atoms are 380-390 pm away from the superficial silicon-aluminum plane. With increasing temperature, rearrangements of C(18) ions on the mica surface are found, while 2C(18) ions remain tethered due to geometric restraints. We present basal-plane spacings in the duplicate structures, tilt angles of the alkyl chains, and gauche-trans ratios to analyze the chain conformation. Agreement with experimental data, where available, is quantitative. In C(18)-mica with less than 100% alkali-ion exchange, the disordered C(18) rods in the island structures [Hayes, W. A.; Schwartz, D. K. Langmuir 1998, 14, 5913-5917] break at 40 degrees C. At 60 degrees C, the headgroups of the C(18) alkyl chains rearrange on the mica surface, and the broken chain backbones assume a coillike structure. The C(18)-mica obtained on fast cooling of this phase is metastable due to slow reverse rearrangements of the headgroups. In 2C(18)-mica with 70-80% ion exchange, the alkali ions are interspersed between the alkyl chains, corresponding to a single phase on the surface. The observed phase transition at approximately 53 degrees C involves an increase of chain disorder (partial melting) of the 2C(18) ions without significant rearrangements on the mica surface. We propose a geometric parameter lambda for the saturation of the surface with alkyl chains, which determines the preferred self-assembly pattern, that is, islands, intermediate, or continuous. lambda allows the calculation of tilt angles in continuous layers on mica or other surfaces. The thermal decomposition seems to be a Hofmann elimination with mica as a base-template.
