Supramolecular Nanomaterials Induced by Self-Assembly of Amide Dendrons

초록

The amide dendrons provide unique supramolecular self-assemblies in various environments such as in water. Organic media, and solid-liquid interfaces. They form columns, lamellar nanoribbons, vesicles, and nanotubes depending on the condition of self-assembly process. unique characteristics of self-assembly of the amide dendrons are described. Particular emphasis is placed on the elucidation fo the structual correlation between the building blocks and the assemblies, stabilization of assembled structure, and transformation of supramolecular assemblies by using external stimuli.
