Tokyo, Japan, July 25, 2006 - (JCN) - A research team at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has developed a technology to synthesize
amphiphilic molecules into various types of white organic nano tubes with inner diameters of 40-200nm, outer diameters of 70-500nm, and lengths of several micrometers.

amphiphilic polyacrylic acid polymer-coated QDs (amp-QDs), and amp-QDs conjugated to PEG-amine groups (mPEG-QDs), at QD concentrations of 20 pmol QD/g animal weight.
Researchers led by Associate Professor Costas Patrickios are using the BI-MwA to study the properties and applications of functional
amphiphilic block copolymers, which are prepared using group transfer polymerization chemistry.
* Tegomer P121 and P131 dispersing additives for organic and inorganic pigments are
amphiphilic block copolymers that reportedly reduce the amount of pigment required to achieve a certain color strength.
In this process, the protein unfolds to expose hydrophobic regions on the polypeptide chains, imparting an
amphiphilic nature - having an affinity for both oil and water.
The peptides are
amphiphilic: Half the molecule is oily and half is water-loving.
'It is a very exciting result that surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) with
amphiphilic structures can self-assemble on electrode surfaces and enhance charge storage performance at electrified surfaces,' says Yi Cui, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University, who was not associated with this research.
nanometre-sized compartments formed by the self-assembly of
amphiphilic block copolymers in water; polymerosomes in fact have attracted great research interest in recent years due to their ability to encapsulate molecules within their interior and to release them in the external environment in a controlled manner.
Amphiphilic water-soluble polymer molecules contain incompatible hydrophilic chain segments and hydrophobic chain segments.

Another supporting reason is that the particular cysteine residue has a potential for the formation of
amphiphilic helix [27].
