Effect of Hydrophobicity on the Self-Assembly Behavior of Urea Benzene Derivatives in Aqueous Solution

Effect of Hydrophobicity on the Self-Assembly Behavior of Urea Benzene Derivatives in Aqueous Solution

Urea benzene derivatives (UBD) with amphiphilic side chains showed self-assembly behavior in aqueous solution to form nanoparticles ~100 nm in size. Subsequent thermal treatment led to additional self-assembly of the nanoparticles due to dehydration of the amphiphilic side chains, producing micropar...
