TL;DR: In this article, a synthetic glycolipid N-(11-cis-octadecennoyl)-β-d-glucopyranosylamine was employed for the fabrication of organic tubular structures with a cyclic hollow cylinder 30−50 nm wide through molecular self-assembly in water.

TL;DR: It is found that the position of a cis double bond significantly influences the homogeneity of the outer diameters as well as growth behavior of the self-assembled nanotube structures.

TL;DR: Investigation of the local environment of water confined inside the hollow cylinder of lipid nanotubes (LNTs) by time-resolved fluorescent measurements and attenuated-total-reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy showed that the hydrogen-bond network of water inside the LNT was more developed than that in bulk water at room temperature.

TL;DR: Mild fabrication of anisotropic metal-lipid nanotube (LNT) nanocomposites, in which Au nanoparticles of 3-10 nm wide are organized in a glycolipid Nanotube hollow cylinder, has been achieved by filling the internal channel of the LNT with HAuCl aqueous solution by capillary force and subsequent photochemical reduction of [AuCl(4)](-).

TL;DR: In this article, a polycarbonate (PC) filter was used for the extrusion of a glycolipid N-(11-cis-octadecenoyl)-β-d-glucopyranosylamine at 90 °C.
