Supramolecular self-associating amphiphiles as aqueous pollutant scavengers

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Oct 5;20(38):7587-7592. doi: 10.1039/d2ob01365g.

Abstract

We present a series of supramolecular self-associated amphiphiles, which spontaneously self-assemble into aggregated species. These aggregates are shown to absorb a variety of (polar) micropollutants from aqueous mixtures and as a result we determine the suitability for this technology to be developed further as aqueous environmental clean-up agents.
