Small molecule self-assembly offers a powerful bottom-up approach to producing nanostructures with high surface areas, tunable surfaces, and defined internal order. Historically, the dynamic nature of these systems has limited their use to specific cases, especially biomedical applications, in solvated environments.

In the talk, Christoff-Tempesta will present a self-assembling small molecule platform, the aramid amphiphile (AA), that overcomes these dynamic limitations.
