Nanoscale self-aggregates

摘要

A nanoscale self-aggregate having a unique high order structure comprises an O-glycoside type oligolipid having a structure represented by the general formula (1) wherein G represents an oligosaccharide radical composed from two to thirty bonded monosaccharides, and R represents a hydrocarbon group containing six to twenty-five carbon atoms. This nanoscale self-aggregate assumes the shape of micro double helical fiber shaped aggregates, micro helical disk shaped aggregates, nanoscale tubular aggregates and microfiber shaped aggregates.
