Inter- and intra-molecular H-bonds induced different nanostructures from a multi-H-bonding (MHB) amphiphile: nanofibers and nanodisks.
An MHB amphiphile, N-stearoyl-l-glutamic acid (C(18)-Glu), forms disk- and fiber-like nanostructures respectively in hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments due to the inter- and intra-molecular H-bonds.
