Solid state nanofibers based on self-assemblies: from cleaving from self-assemblies to multilevel hierarchical constructs
Abstract
Self-assemblies and their hierarchies are useful to construct soft materials with structures at different length scales and to tune the materials properties for various functions. Here we address routes for solid nanofibers based on different forms of self-assemblies. On the other hand, we discuss rational “bottom-up” routes for multi-level hierarchical self-assembled constructs, with the aim of learning more about design principles for competing interactions and packing frustrations. Here we use the triblock copolypeptide poly(L-lysine)-b-poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)-b-poly(L-lysine) complexed with
