Superamphiphiles for controlled self-assembly and disassembly

Superamphiphiles refer to amphiphiles that are formed on the basis of noncovalent interactions.Based on the concept of supramolecular engineering,we are able to fabricate various types of superamphiphiles,including low-molecular weight superamphiphiles and polymeric superamphiphiles.The driving forces to construct superamphiphiles can be single noncovalent interaction or the cooperation of different noncovalent interactions.The concept of superamphiphiles can not only enrich the traditional colloid sciences,but also provide a new approach for the fabrication of functional supramolecular materials.
