Self-Propelled Motion Sensitive to the Chemical Structure of Amphiphilic Molecular Layer on an Aqueous Phase
Two novel amphiphiles, <i>N</i>-(3-nitrophenyl)stearamide (MANA) and <i>N</i>,<i>N′</i>-(4-nitro-1,3-phenylene)distearamide (OPANA), were synthesized by reacting nitroanilines with one or two equivalents of stearic acid. We investigated how the molecular structure...
