title: Soft nanotubes acting as confinement effecters and chirality inducers for achiral polythiophenes.
abstract: Depending on their nanochannel sizes, soft nanotubes were able to not only control the conformation and aggregation state of encapsulated achiral polythiophene boronic acids but also induce chirality in the polythiophene chains that exhibit chiral recognition abilities for D, L-sugars.
