A new approach to molecular self-assembly through formation of dipeptide-based unique architectures by artificial supersaturation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological transition and the fabrication of unique architectures through molecular self-assembly of dipeptides are caused by the formation of a small nucleus in artificial supersaturation, achieved by quick drying of the solvent due to the local Joule heating. The growth mechanism of "diatom-like" porous microspheres and microtubes is proposed on the basis of several new techniques developed in the study.

Diamondoids and DNA Nanotechnologies
Diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. The Diamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (MBBs) in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other MBBs known so far. The challenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in the bottom-...
