Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows nanotubular structures, as visualised by electron microscopy and X‐ray crystallography, formed from the self‐assembly of an amphiphilic helical oligourea foldamer (artificial folded oligomer) in aqueous conditions. Importantly, it was possible to control the shape and morphology of the resulting tubular assembly—from single short tubules to extended tubule bundles (i.e., fibres)—by modulating the polarity of the aqueous environment through the use of alcohol additives.
