Polymeric bolaamphiphiles

Recent reports on monomeric and polymerized bolaamphiphiles1 provide evidence for their potential application in the broader field of molecular organizates (1,2). Thus monomeric bolaamphiphiles have been employed in the formation of monolayer lipid membranes or vesicles (1-3). formation of micelles (4-5) and also for spanning bilayer membranes (1-6) The latter process has resulted in the stabilization of membranes.
