Functionalization of Organic Nanomesh Materials Templated by Molecular Gel Network

自组装分子凝胶被认为是一种极具潜力的自下而上纳米制造工具。谷氨酰胺衍生的脂质在水溶液和有机溶液中均形成分子凝胶。它们的热带性质和形态特征可以通过脂质分子的化学修饰来控制。合成了具有离子基和铬基等多种官能团的脂质分子，并用光谱和显微观察对其分子凝胶进行了表征。为提高分子凝胶的物理性能，采用了聚合法和聚合物复合法。此外，它们的形态特征和高度定向的结构被用作模板，用于制造各种应用的功能材料和器件，如分子传感器、光学器件和太阳能电池。

Self-assembled molecular gels have been recognized as promising materials for bottom-up nanofabrication tools in various fields. The glutamide-derived lipids formed molecular gel in both of aqueous and organic solutions. Their chiroptical properties and morphological features can be controlled by the chemical modifications of the lipid molecules. The lipid molecules with various functional groups such as ionic and chromic groups were newly synthesized and the molecular gels from those lipids were characterized by spectroscopic measurements and microscopic observations. To increase the physical property of molecular gels, polymerization method and polymer composite method were applied. Furthermore, their morphological features and highly-oriented structures were used as templates to create functional materials and devices for various applications such as molecular sensor, optical device and solar cell.
