Exploiting hydrogen bonding between amide groups of neighboring molecules to drive self-assembly of a blend of monomers and then pinning the liquid crystal's structure in place via polymerization ...

In this polymerization reaction, the monomers need to have two functional groups which will react with each other to form covalent bonds, e.g. a C=O and N-H group to form an amide linkage—one common ...

Figure 2. (Top) Adipic acid reacts with hexamethylenediamine to form an amide bond (red line), just like the reaction in Figure 1, but there's a big difference. The reaction product that I've called ...

The MOF flakes line up on the interface between the water and hexane emulsion where amide polymerization takes places, regulating the heat and mass transfer associated with the reaction.

As we expected, the amide-linkages suppress the side-chain mobility because of an inter- and intrachain hydrogen-bonding interaction among them, resulting in raising the melting point up to 130 ℃.

Amide’s innovations in fast and complex peptide synthesis are groundbreaking, and with Dr. Pentelute’s leadership, the company is poised to significantly advance peptide-based drug development” ...
