Emerging investigator series: aramid amphiphile nanoribbons for the remediation of lead from contaminated water†
Abstract
Self-assembled nanoribbons from small molecule amphiphiles with a structural domain to impart mechanical stability and chelating head groups are reported for the remediation of lead from contaminated water. The nanoribbons' remediation capacity is affected by pH and the presence of competing cations, and can be modulated by head group choice.
