The overall goal of this protocol is to demonstrate a rational synthetic approach to helical polycarbodiimides bearing modifiable pendant groups and visualize the secondary structures assembled from them by means of atomic force microscopy. These

Here, we present a protocol to prepare and visualize secondary structures (e.g., fibers, toroidal architectures, and nano-spheres) derived from helical polycarbodiimides. The morphology characterized by both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was shown to depend on molecular structure, concentration, and the solvent of choice.
