| Research Abstract |
Novel wedge-shaped amphiphiles self-organized in water to from nanotube hydrogels responding on pH stimulus. The nanotube hydrogel possessed two independent spaces consisting of three-dimensional meshworks formed between nanotubes and one-dimensional hollow cylinder of the nanotube itself. Introduction of the nanotube hydrogel as sieves into the capillary electrophoresis allowed to construct a separation system for biomacromolecules. Imaging technique showed that the one-dimensional hollow cylinder of the nanotube with 8 nm inner diameter acts as a functional space for the DNA separation.
