Direct sol-gel replication of the self-assembled nanostructure modified with H-bond functionalities
The glucopyranoside-based amphiphile 1 formed nanofiber structures with 25-100 nm of diameters and several micrometer lengths in the presence of aminophenyl glucopyranoside 2, and their self-assembled nanostructures were successfully replicated into the silica tube by sol-gel polymerization of TEOS.
