Size control and compartmentalization in self-assembled nano-structures of a multisegment amphiphile.
A "multisegment amphiphile" has been synthesized by covalently connecting two well known building blocks, a gelator and a micelle forming surfactant. Self-assembly results in the formation of compartmentalized nano-object displaying properties inherited from both parents.
