Fig. 8

a Scheme showing the change in the ureidopyrimidinone glycine (UPy-Gly) supramolecular polymer system, from an initial homogenous dispersion of shorter fibrils (1 h) into liquid-liquid phase-separated tactoids upon fibril elongation (10 h) which grow and become denser with time (e.g. 37 h). Scale bars are 50 µm b SAXS profiles arising from the UPy-Gly system, including 2 wt% of dextran83.
