Research Abstract |
Self-assembled molecular gels have been recognized as promising materials for bottom-up nanofabrication tools in various fields. The glutamide-derived lipids formed molecular gel in both of aqueous and organic solutions. Their chiroptical properties and morphological features can be controlled by the chemical modifications of the lipid molecules. The lipid molecules with various functional groups such as ionic and chromic groups were newly synthesized and the molecular gels from those lipids were characterized by spectroscopic measurements and microscopic observations. To increase the physical property of molecular gels, polymerization method and polymer composite method were applied. Furthermore, their morphological features and highly-oriented structures were used as templates to create functional materials and devices for various applications such as molecular sensor, optical device and solar cell.
