| Popis: | A hydrophilic glycopolyamide homopolymer is described, consisting of a tertiary polyamide backbone and D-glucose side chains, which upon direct dissolution in water can self-assemble into spherical vesicles and nanofibers. Based on TEM, SFM, and SAXS data, it is proposed that the nanofibers are hollow nanotubes with a cross-sectional radius of about 3 nm and a wall thickness of about 1 nm. The wall should be constructed of chains forming a sheet through intermolecular hydrogen bonding between amide and glucose units, as evidenced by CD spectroscopy. |
