  41. Summary

  42. Summary • Bolaform amphiphiles were successfully synthesized and the interactions with cellulose were studies. • Highly-ordered self assembly of bolaform amphiphiles were observed on cellulose template, while individual self-assembled structures were found in the absence of cellulose. • Bolaform-incorporated cellulose film showed higher relaxation time, which might be attributed to the interaction between cellulose hydroxyl groups and bolaform molecules.
