제목 Polymer Chains in a Mesophase: To Be Folded or Not to Be?
초록 Amphiphilic surfactant molecules self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solutions driven by hydrophobic interaction. At higher concentrations, packing of the micelles results in a variety of lyotropic mesophases useful for numerous applications including templated synthesis of nanostructured materials. Here we discuss a new liquid crystalline-like mesophase which is formed by chain folding of amphiphilic polymers. This phase is characterized as an anisotropically alignable birefringent hydrogel. Structural characterization across multiple length scales and effect of the chain sequence on folding will be presented.
