Patent attributes
The present invention provides a chemically stable and novel glycero-compound having one or two triple bonds, one molecule of a glycerol and one or two molecules of a fatty alcohol having a triple bond being linked through an ether bond, an organic group being linked to residual hydroxyl groups of the glycerol, which can be used as a membrane material for forming a vesicle membrane due to its high intermolecular cohesive force, and also provides a membrane forming material containing the same. The glycero-compound has a triple bond represented by the following general formula (1):
