Tectomers

Tectomers are a novel type of self-assembling molecules. The structure of a tectomer represents several oligoglycine units linked to one common center. The pH dependent formation of strong hydrogen bonds between molecules leads to their selfassembly into extra-regular 2-D or 3-D layers of monomolecular thickness. A tiny quantity of10 mg of any tectomer is enough to coat more than 2 sq.m of surface.
