Abstract:Chirality control is one of the fundamental aspects of the research of chiral nanostructures. Currently, there are a few reports regarding the chirality variation of polymer nanostructures induced by ambient preparation conditions without changing the chiral sense of the polymer backbones. Herein, we report findings that the chirality of the superhelices self-assembled by a binary polymer system containing rodlike core-forming poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) homopolymers and helical screw-forming poly(γ-benz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
