Double- and multiwall silver nanotubes were synthesized by using the uniform low-molecular-mass organogel nanotubes self-assembled from an l-glutamic-acid-based bolaamphiphile, N,N-eicosanedioyl-di-l-glutamic acid (EDGA). The EDGA could gel a mixed water/ethanol solvent and form helical nanotubes. W...
