Confined supramolecular nanostructures of mesogen-bearing amphiphiles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 May 7:(9):1008-9. doi: 10.1039/b201444k.

Abstract

Stable surface nanostructures with different morphology have been successfully constructed by modifying the chemical structure of synthetic amphiphiles; by introducing mesogenic groups into bolaform amphiphiles, stable spaghetti-like or stripe-like nanostructures can be obtained; it is believed that such a kind of surface structure could be used for templating synthesis and assembly.
