Toroidal structures from brush amphiphiles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The self-assembly of macromolecular brushes of varying amphiphilic character from homogeneous solution under rapid assembly conditions results in unique morphologies, distinct from equilibrium structures. Kinetic features of the assembly process enabled the formation of toroid structures, the sizes of which were readily tuned according to solvent quality.

متن کاملComparison of the Eccentricity Faults Effects on the Performance of several Toroidal Wounded Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Motors
Eccentricity fault is one the most common fault types of disk-type permanent magnet machines, which could lead to devastating effects. Unfortunately, most of the previous works have studied this fault and its detection techniques for slotted structure with common winding. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of eccentricity faults on the performance of single-sided slotted, single-sided slotle...
متن کاملModeling the anisotropic self-assembly of spherical polymer-grafted nanoparticles.
Recent experimental results demonstrated that polymer grafted nanoparticles in solvents display self-assembly behavior similar to the microphase separation of block copolymers and other amphiphiles. We present a mean-field theory and complementary computer simulations to shed light on the parametric underpinnings of the experimental observations. Our theory suggests that such self-assembled str...
متن کاملSelf-assembly and applications of biomimetic and bioactive peptide- amphiphiles
Peptide-amphiphiles are amphiphilic structures with a hydrophilic peptide headgroup that incorporates a bioactive sequence and has the potential to form distinct structures, and a hydrophobic tail that serves to align the headgroup, drive self-assembly, and induce secondary and tertiary conformations. In this paper we review the different self-assembled structures of peptide-amphiphiles that ra...
متن کاملThe role of spacers on the self-assembly of DNA aptamer-amphiphiles into micelles and nanotapes.
The self-assembly of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer-amphiphiles was influenced by the choice of spacer used to link the hydrophobic tail and aptamer headgroup. Aptamer-amphiphiles without spacers or with hydrophilic spacers formed globular micelles while amphiphiles with hydrophobic spacers formed bilayer nanotapes, which are the first such structures formed by DNA-amphiphiles.
