Implication

Heterogeneity in supramolecular micelles creates structurally complex Frank–Kasper phases, suggesting new functionalities.

Abstract

In supramolecular chemistry, higher structural complexity enables emergent functions in ordered soft matter. To construct structurally complex and functional Frank–Kasper (FK) phases, heterogeneity in supramolecular micelles is introduced by blending...
