Fig. 3. Time-structure transformation trends and phase diagram. (a) 1D SAXS curves of the assemblies at different times under the catalysis of 3.5 M urea at room temperature (∼25.7 °C). Right panel: change in the lattice parameters derived from the SAXS curves over time. (b) Phase diagram of the assemblies after isothermal incubation for 48 hours at a series of fixed temperature and urea concentrations (red pentagons: liquid, purple quadrangles: simple cubic, yellow triangles: amorphous aggregates). (c) Change in the structure of the assemblies with urea concentration and temperature. (d) Change in the structures of the assemblies with urea concentration at 24 °C. (e) Change in the structures of the assemblies with temperature at a urea concentration of 3.6 M. The temperature range for orderly assembly is defined as ΔT, and the transition point from the simple cubic structure to a liquid phase is defined as Tm.
