A series of multi-headed giant surfactants based on polystyrene (PS)-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane(s) (POSS) conjugates, with a different number and topology of POSS heads, are found to self-assemble into different supramolecular structures including vesicles, cylindrical and spherical micelles in H2O/DMF mixed solvents. The transitions among different morphologies can be rationally controlled by tuning the number and topology of POSS heads, as well as the macromolecular concentration.
一系列基于聚苯乙烯（PS）-多面体低聚倍半硅氧烷（POSS） 接枝物的多头巨型表面活性剂，具有不同数量和拓扑结构的 POSS 头，在 H2O/DMF 混合溶剂中自组装成不同的超分子结构，包括囊泡、圆柱和球形胶束。通过调节 POSS 头的数量和拓扑结构以及大分子浓度，可以合理控制不同形态之间的转变。
