A multisegment amphiphile, made of a gelator and a surfactant, self-assembles into architectures with properties inherited from both segments. By addition of a surfactant, the surfactant segment of the amphiphile is selectively switched off, leading to the formation of fibrils. The addition of urea or hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFIP) switches off the gelator segment, giving micelles.
