Self-assembly and micellization of amphiphilic rod–coil block oligomer at the mica–water interface

Novel nano-materials, RGD-tetrapeptide-modified 17β-amino-11α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-diene-3-one: synthesis, self-assembly based nano-images and in vivo anti-osteoporosis evaluation

“…Infrared spectra were recorded on a spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer 983 instrument), and the solid compounds were compressed into KBr pellets. 1 H (500 M Hz) and 13 C (125 M Hz) NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance II 500 MHz spectrometer by use of DMSO-d 6 or CDCl 3 as the solvent and tetramethylsilane as the internal standard. ESI/MS was determined on a ZQ2000 (Waters, US).…”

“…Self-organization or self-assembly is of practical importance in the formation of various ordered nanostructures in solution, in the bulk state, and on a solid surface, such as spherical, lamellar, honeycomb structures, and so on. 1 The advent of nano-materials opens a door to self-assembly. 2 Consequently, numerous selfassembling molecules, such as highly fluorinated amphiphilic molecules, 3 amphiphilic triblock copolymers with polyrotaxane as a central block, 4 amphiphilic dodecyl ester derivatives from aromatic amino acids, 5 dendritic molecules, 6 the shape anisotropy of non-spherical colloidal building blocks, 7 alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 8 porphyrins, graphenes and fullerenes, 9 were designed.…”

Development of three-component conjugates: to get nano-globes with porous surfaces, high in vivo anti-osteoporosis activity and minimal side effects

“…Nano-scale assembly is important for forming various ordered structures in solution, at bulk state, and on a solid surface which includes spherical, lamellar, and honeycomb structures. 1 The development of nano-species pushes self-assembly into a new field. 2 At the nano-scale, numerous self-assembling molecules can be converted into nano-particles.…”
