Abstract

A range of norbornane based amphiphiles, which possess a rigid 'kink'in the centre of amphiphiles, were accessed via a concise four step synthesis. The self-assembly properties of these novel compounds were then investigated and the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), hydrodynamic diameter (DH) by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and their morphology by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM) and negatively stained ...
