Just Mix It Up: New Synthetic Method for Making Amphiphilic Molecules without Additives
Date Time Just Mix It Up: New Synthetic Method for Making Amphiphilic Molecules without Additives Amphiphilic molecules, which aggregate and encapsulate molecules in water, find use in several fields of chemistry. The simple, additive-free connection of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules would be an efficient method for amphiphilic molecule synthesis. However, such connections, or bonds, are often fragile in water. Now, scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed an easy way to prepare water-stable amphiphiles by simple mixing. Their new catalyst- and reagent-free method wil...
