  • Publication number: 20240132727
    Abstract: A molecular assembly having a structural formation of amphiphilic molecules is disclosed where the amphiphilic molecules are selected from a group containing amphiphilic molecules which a) have a hydrophobic moiety and a hydrophilic moiety b) are soluble in a polar aprotic solvent and form self-organizing layer structures in the absence of the polar aprotic solvent, and c) orient molecularly in formed layer structures at an interfacial layer, or in an aqueous environment. The amphiphilic molecules in the formed layer structure are in contact with an aqueous environment. A method for coating a solid surface with a molecular assembly is also disclosed, wherein the amphiphilic molecules are dissolved in a polar aprotic solvent, and resulting solution is applied to a solid surface by spin coating.
