“…In recent years, a special class of amphiphiles, which is called giant surfactants or giant amphiphiles, has drawn considerable attention. − Compared with soft-chain segments of traditional amphiphilic polymers, these giant surfactants show a hybrid molecular structure and contain molecular nanoparticles, such as functional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), − fullerene (C 60 ), polyoxometalates, and so forth, have three-dimensional rigid nanostructures and can be modified with different peripheral groups, and hence the corresponding giant surfactants have a more precisely controlled molecular structure. , Due to chemical incompatibility and geometric structural asymmetry, giant surfactants produce various structures through the assembly process. − For instance, Yu et al synthesized a giant surfactant composed of a carboxylic acid-functionalized POSS with a polystyrene tail that can self-organize into spherical, cylindrical, and vesicular micelles in selective solvents . Yue et al reported Frank–Kasper and quasicrystal phases of giant surfactants by tuning the flexible polymer tail number and tail length .…”
