AI Article Synopsis
- Incorporating naphthalene diimide into short amphiphilic peptides leads to the creation of fibrils with strong intermolecular π-stacking interactions.
- These interactions can be adjusted independently of the overall structure of the fibrils.
- This research represents an initial advancement toward developing functional self-synthesizing materials.
Article Abstract
Incorporation of naphthalene diimide moieties as side chains of short amphiphilic peptide results in the formation of fibrils that exhibit substantial intermolecular π-stacking interactions. These interactions can be manipulated without affecting the structure. The new system is suggested as a first step towards functional self-synthesizing materials.
