Abstract:

Natural or synthetic amphiphiles such as surfactants can self-assemble to form multi-scale aggregate structures such as micelles, vesicles, liquid crystals, and fibers. The introduction of functional groups into surfactants can regulate the aggregation mode of surfactants with the help of changes in the external environment (such as light, temperature, pH, CO2, magnetism, etc.). In this paper, the category and structure of responsive surfactants are introduced, as well as the relationship between environmental stimuli and their responsive properties.

Key words: responsive surfactant, environmentally stimuli-responsive, self-assembly
