Abstract

An effective way for the fabrication of chiral fibers from amino acid-based amphiphilic enantiomers is developed. We use compressed CO2 to drive the self-assembly of these building blocks to form stable chiral fibers with the assistance of silica coating and provide insights into the fabrication of chiral structures through self-assembly.
