title: Construction of gyroid-structured matrices through the design of geminized amphiphilic zwitterions and their self-organization.
abstract: Gemini amphiphilic zwitterions exhibit thermotropic bicontinuous cubic liquid-crystalline phases having a 3D continuous ionic domain. Incorporation of an acid into the materials led to the creation of novel electrolytes transporting protons efficiently through the 3D continuous domain.
