Abstract

Abstract We previously showed that the hybridization of water-insoluble 12-hydroxystearic acid (HSA) with water-soluble long-chain amidoamine derivatives yields hydrogels composed of self-assembled helical nanofibers. In this work, we investigated the effect of introducing an amide group into the alkyl chain of amidoamine derivatives on the helical structure of the nanofibers. We also demonstrated that improving the solubility of HSA by changing the gelation solvent is a very effective method for preparing homogeneous nanofibers composed of two compounds.
