The 20 standard amino acids (together with a few more that are not used in the biosynthesis
of proteins) constitute a versatile tool box for synthesis of surfactants. Anionic, cationic and …

The aggregation behaviour of biomimetic polypeptide hybrid copolymers and
copolypeptides is here reviewed with a particular eye on the occurrence of secondary …

Six l-histidine-based amphiphiles, N α-(4-n-alkyloxybenzoyl)-l-histidine of different
hydrocarbon chain lengths, were designed, synthesized, and examined for their ability to …

The microviscosities of the self-assemblies formed by sodium N-(11-acrylamido-
undecanoyl)-aminoacidate, and N-(4-n-dodecyloxybenzoyl)-aminoacidate surfactants were …

Amino acid-derived surfactants have increasingly become a viable biofriendly alternative to
petrochemically based amphiphiles as speciality surfactants. Herein, the Krafft temperatures …

Gelation behavior of a series of low-molecular-weight-hydrogelators, N-(2-hydroxydodecyl)-l-
amino acid, was studied in aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 12). The effect of head-group …

The aqueous self-assembly of a novel lysine-derived surfactant with a gemini-like
architecture, designated here as 12-Lys-12, has been experimentally investigated for the …

Three amino acid-derived chiral surfactants, sodium N-[4-(n-dodecyloxy) benzoyl]-l-
leucinate (SDBL), sodium N-[4-(n-dodecyloxy) benzoyl]-l-isoleucinate (SDBIL), and sodium …

The self‐assembling abilities of several pseudopeptidic macrocycles have been thoroughly
studied both in the solid (SEM, TEM, FTIR) and in solution (NMR, UV, CD, FTIR) states …

Two new l-cysteine-derived zwitterionic amphiphiles with poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether
(mPEG) tail of different chain lengths were synthesized and their surface activity and self …
