The continuous demand for novel hybrid materials in specific technological applications
inspires people to develop new synthetic strategies in a modular and efficient way. In the …

Surfactants are ubiquitous in cellular membranes, detergents or as emulsification agents.
Due to their amphiphilic properties, they cannot only mediate between two domains of very …

In this Perspective, we present a unique approach to the design and synthesis of giant
molecules based on “nanoatoms” for engineering structures across multiple length scales …

The engineering of structures across different length scales is central to the design of novel
materials with controlled macroscopic properties. Herein, we introduce a unique class of self …

This paper reports our recent investigations in the synthesis, characterization, and solution
self-assembly of giant gemini surfactants consisting of two hydrophilic carboxylic acid …

A fluorinated and thermo-cross-linked polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) has
been successfully synthesized by thermal polymerization of a fluorinated POSS monomer …

This paper reports a highly efficient and modular sequential “click” approach for the
syntheses of shape amphiphiles based on polymer-tethered polyhedral oligomeric …

Giant surfactants are polymer‐tethered molecular nanoparticles (MNPs) and can be
considered as a subclass of giant molecules. The MNPs serve as functionalized heads with …

Well-defined giant molecular shape amphiphiles possessing a hydrophilic head with definite
shape and size and a linear, hydrophobic polymeric tail with a length suitable to resemble …

An introduction to the state-of-the-art of the diverse self-assembly systems Self-Assembly:
From Surfactants to Nanoparticles provides an effective entry for new researchers into this …
