Particle get-together: Surface functionalization with a branched copolymer surfactant is used to create responsive inorganic particles that can self-assemble in complex structures. The assembly process is triggered by a pH switch that reversibly activates multiple hydrogen bonds between ceramic particles (see picture; yellow) and soft templates (n-decane; green).
使用支化共聚物表面活性剂对表面进行功能化，从而制备对环境刺激具有响应性的无机粒子，这些粒子可以在复杂结构中自组装。组装过程由 pH 开关触发，该开关可在陶瓷粒子（见图片；黄色）和软模板（正十一烷；绿色）之间可逆地激活多个氢键。
