Self-assembly offers an attractive strategy to construct functional nanofibers. Amphiphilic self-assembly of components that belong to different molecular families or disciplines allows development of unique properties that have not been created in the framework of conventional studies. The solvophilic-solvophobic interactions play a pivotal role in the determination of mesoscopic-scale supramolecular architectures, and this is a feature not appreciated in classical supramolecular chemistry. Since many supramolecular nanofibers have been developed, one of the next issues would obviously be finding functions unique to their nano architectures. Introduction of biological molecules as essential components for nanofiber self-assembly has been shown to provide bridges that link materials science and in vivo applications. [Pg.23]
