A prototype surfactant system was developed-with the unique feature that it can be switched between an aggregated, amphiphilic state and a nonaggregated, nonamphiphilic state using external stimuli. This switchable surfactant system uses the reversible formation of a dynamic covalent bond for pH- and temperature-triggered on/off seff-assembly of micellar aggregates by reversible displacement of the equilibrium between nonamphiphilic building blocks and their amphiphilic counterparts. The potential for application in controlled-release systems is shown by reversible uptake and release of an organic dye in aqueous media.
