Sequence-dependent mechanical, photophysical and electrical properties of pi-conjugated peptide hydrogelators

Matteo Togninalli

The ability to modulate intermolecular interactions in such a way as to impact nano-, micro- and even macroscale properties is an attractive aspect of self-assembling systems. We present an investigation of sequence-dependent rheological, photophysical and ...
