Electrospinning of diphenylalanine nanotubes

Electrospinning from concentrated diphenylalanine solutions in a low-boiling-point solvent results in tubes that are chemically identical to self-assembled tubes, but show different morphologies, especially extreme lengths. Electrospinning of tubes offers more possibilities for manipulation, for example, bridging electrodes in parallel orientation, a possible patterning strategy for electrospun material.
