Cavity-Directed Syntheses within Self-Assembled Nano-Space

Self Assembled Nano-Devices Using DNA

Water confined in self-assembled ionic surfactant nano-structures.

We present a coarse-grained model for ionic surfactants in explicit aqueous solutions, and study by computer simulation both the impact of water content on the morphology of the system, and the consequent effect of the formed interfaces on the structural features of the absorbed fluid. On increasing the hydration level under ambient conditions, the model exhibits a series of three distinct phas...

In situ helicity inversion of self-assembled nano-helices.

The handedness of nanometrical helices based on surfactant assemblies was inverted when these helices were in contact with an excess solution of chiral anions with opposite enantiomers. An important difference in the kinetics of chirality inversion at the molecular level and mesoscopic level was observed.

Self-assembly of gelators confined within the nano-scale interlayer space of organo-montmorillonite.

The self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators confined within the nano-scale interlayer space of organo-montmorillonite is likely to be different from that under normal conditions (bulk space). Four kinds of gelators, 1-methyl-2,4-bis(N'-n-octadecylureido) benzene (MBB18), 1-methyl-2,4-bis(N'-n-dodecylureido)benzene (MBB12), bis(4'-stearamido phenyl) methane (BSM18) and bis(4'-octanamido p...

P10: Self-Directed Learning

Developing and promoting self-directed learning, as an one of the goals in higher education is important because it expected from students to reach the high level of individual capabilities, and able to identify their training needs in order to fix it and evaluate their own learning, without being in a special education system. Conclusion: The literature review showed that self-directed learnin...
