For a hydrogel based on a zwitterionic dendritic surfactant, we report an apparently unprecedented reversible temperature-induced gel-to-gel phase transition below the melting point of its alkyl chains, where the supramolecular self-assembly of surfactant molecules underwent a dramatic transformation from low-temperature surfactant bilayers to high-temperature entangled surfactant worm-like micelles.
对于基于两性离子树枝状表面活性剂的水凝胶，我们报道了一种明显前所未有的低于其烷基链熔点的可逆温度诱导凝胶-凝胶相转变，其中表面活性剂分子的超分子自组装经历了从低温表面活性剂双层到高温缠结表面活性剂蠕虫状胶束的剧烈转变。
