toroidal
adjEtymology * toroid + -al
1
Having the shape of a torus or toroid.
- However, because of the lack of guiding principles for the construction of toroids, researchers have not widely studied the self-assembly of toroidal nanostructures as compared with the work on other supramolecular architectures.2013 September, Yongju Kim, Wen Li, Suyong Shin, Myongsoo Lee, “Development of Toroidal Nanostructures by Self-Assembly: Rational Designs and Applications”, in Accounts of Chemical Research, volume 46, number 12:
