(orcid)0000-0003-4333-6498 Microfluidics for the rapid and controlled preparation of organic nanotubes of bent-core based dendrimers 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Recently, bent-core molecules have emerged as excellent building blocks for the obtaining of nanostructures in solvents. Herein, we report the use of a coaxial microfluidic system as a promising tool to control the self-assembly of non-conventional bent-core amphiphiles. Moreover, a TEM study to comprehend the hierarchical self-assembly process in solution was carried out. The proposed tool provides both a cost-effective platform to save hard-to-synthesise reagents and a rapid method to screen a plethora of different parameters, i.e., THF/water ratio, residence time, concentration of the amphiphile, temperature and pH. The experiments allowed to test for the first time the suitability of microfluidics for the self-assembly of bent-core molecules, as well as the study of a range of conditions to control the assembly of different nanostructures in a rapid and controlled manner. Additionally, organic nanostructures were combined with gold nanoparticles to prepare nanocomposites with enhanced properties. Both organic and hybrid nanostructures were also obtained in the solid state. These results may inspire scientists working on supramolecular chemistry and bent-core molecules expanding the scope of microfluidic systems for the self-assembly of other low-molecular-weight compounds. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E47-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ-DGA/T57-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/MAT2015-66208-C3-1-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/PGC2018-093761-B-C31 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/PGC2018-097583-B-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-099019-A-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/BES-2016-078753 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es 5.598 2021 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 111 / 344 = 0.323 2021 Q2 T1 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 56 / 179 = 0.313 2021 Q2 T1 NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY 55 / 108 = 0.509 2021 Q3 T2 1.043 2021 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2021 Q1 Materials Science (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 Engineering (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 Bioengineering 2021 Q1 5.7 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Romero, P.
