Freezing-induced self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules

Abstract

The self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules usually takes place in a liquid phase, near room temperature. Here, using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments performed in real time, we show that freezing of aqueous solutions of copolymer amphiphilic molecules can induce self-assembly below 0{\deg}C.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
