摘要：
Ordered nanostructures formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic compounds in solution have wide potential applications in nanoscience, biological drug delivery, optoelectronics and so on. In the past decade, researchers have developed a new type of amphiphilic compound, giant surfactants (GSs), the size of which lies in between small surfactants and amphiphilic block copolymers. The GSs are composed of molecular nanoparticles (MNPs) with persistent shape and volume as the hydrophilic head and polymers/oligomers as the hydrophobic tail. Highly efficient "click" reaction facilitated the synthesis, affording GSs of precise chemical structures with flexible molecular configuration adjustability. This review systematically summarized the research progress of GSs self-assembly in solution. By precisely regulating the chemical structure, molecular configuration and experimental conditions, a wide variety of interesting self-assembly structures were obtained. Packing parameter and free energy theory were applied to rationalize the morphology evolution of self-assembly structures. The research on GSs further expands the bottom-up strategy of constructing ordered nanostructures, and provides a diversified material library for the application of nanotechnology. © 2021, Editorial Board of Polymer Materials Science & Engineering.
