Nanofibers from self-assembly of an aromatic facial amphiphile with oligo(ethylene oxide) dendrons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Novel block facial amphiphiles consisting of a laterally extended aromatic segment and oligo(ethylene oxide) dendrons as a flexible segment were synthesized in a stepwise fashion and their aggregation behavior was investigated in aqueous solution; self-assembly into elongated nanofibers with a uniform diameter of 7 +/- 0.5 nm and lengths up to several hundred nanometers was observed.

Amphiphilic light-emitting dendrons with oligo(phenylene vinylene) branches and oligo(ethylene oxide) terminal chains
We have recently synthesized new amphiphilic light-emitting dendrons with oligo(phenylene vinylene) core–branches and oligo(ethylene oxide) terminal chains (designated as: OPPV-d-OPEO). Due to the amphiphilic properties arising from the large difference in solubility between the two components, unique concentrationand temperature-dependent photoluminescence emissions were observed for aqueous s...
متن کاملMesoscale surface patterning of a laterally-grafted rod amphiphile: rings and fibers.
An aromatic amphiphilic molecule based on branched oligo(ethylene oxide) was synthesized. Evaporation-driven ring formation and Langmuir-Blodgett films are investigated by utilizing this rigid-flexible block molecule. The size of the rings is strongly dependent on the solvent evaporation rate and the concentration of the molecule. In case of fast evaporation, volcano-like rings are formed by ev...
متن کاملInterfiber interactions alter the stiffness of gels formed by supramolecular self-assembled nanofibers†
Molecular self-assembly is a powerful technique for developing novel nanostructures by using noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, electrostatic, metal–ligand, p–p and van der Waals interactions. These interactions are highly dynamic and are often delicate due to their relatively weak nature. However, a sufficient number of these weak interactions can yield a stable as...

Twelve derivatives of peptide-amphiphile molecules, designed to self-assemble into nanofibers, are described. The scope of amino acid selection and alkyl tail modification in the peptide-amphiphile molecules are investigated, yielding nanofibers varying in morphology, surface chemistry, and potential bioactivity. The results demonstrate the chemically versatile nature of this supramolecular sys...
