Abstract: The degree of ionisation of a weakly acidic surfactant can be continuously modified from nonionic to ionic by adjusting the pH. This property can be used to control the curvature and therefore the morphology of… read more here.

Abstract: Pairs of peptide amphiphiles with immiscible hydrophobic tails were synthesized and their assembly formation was investigated. These pairs formed self-sorting supramolecular fibres using a standard heating-cooling protocol, while one pair with longer hydrophobic tails formed… read more here.
