Simulations of morphology control of self‐assembled amphiphilic surfactants

One of the grand challenges amphiphilic self-assembly is design ordered structures whose morphology or shape can be explicitly and dynamically controlled by adjusting properties amphiphiles their surroundings. Such a capacity would enable researchers to create synthetic systems with functionality that meets exceeds biological cells, provide robust platform for broad range engineering applications such as artificial tissues, drug delivery, separation membranes. Despite significant progress, important fundamental questions remain unanswered, due in part limited resolution restricted parameter spaces are readily accessible experiments. Computational studies thus an complement experiments, enabling in-depth insight into underlying mechanisms exploration behavior has not yet been achieved In this review, we briefly introduce concepts pertinent experiments related dynamic modulation self-assembled amphiphiles. Then, bulk survey most influential simulation investigate identify approaches control amphiphiles, emphasis on kinetic mechanical effects. Finally, conclude perspective future research directions exciting field.
