What are the bolaform amphiphiles?
They have a dumb-bell shape
hydrophilichydrophilic

Arborol Gels’ Properties
• Dissolve in warm water• Gel on cooling• Apparently, they are “real” gels• Reversible
• Fibers inside the gels • Self-assembly
Why do we care?
Reversible self-assembling system
Small molecule hydrogels
Easy to vary headgroup and core size
Possible applications in:• Porous media• Stationary phase for separations
• Model for studying -amyloid (the protein fragment responsible for Alzheimer’s disease).
Do they look alike?
• We need this method development because arborol fibrils resemble those made by -amyloid -amyloid: $300,000/gram (probably more if we make it!)[9]-10-[9]: $120/gram (make it yourself)

Conclusion
• The inhibitor [9]-6 slows down the assembly of arborol fibers.
• The size distribution after filtration is narrow.
• The inhibitor forms micelles.
• Surface properties of [9]-8 and [9]-10 are intriguing.
