Understanding self-assembly in multicomponent systems
Abstract: Supramolecular hydrogels formed by the self-assembly of peptide-based low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are promising soft materials for a variety of applications. Introduction of a second hydrophobic, modified peptide can be used to achieve properties and behaviours not accessible from single components. However, the outcome of mixing two (or more) components does not always result in predictable patterns in behaviour. This project looks at the results of mixing the well-studied gelator 2Nap-(SS)-FF with a second N-terminal modified dipeptide. The outcome of such a mixture is extremely difficult to predict. Small angle scattering will allow us to study such systems at the primary fibre level. By probing the primary fibres formed in each system how the two components assemble in the presence of one another.
