Abstract
Major recent advances in the field of POM-surfactant ISA complexes are the extension of the studies into both thermo- and lyotropic phase behaviour, and the use of the vesicle motif for the production of novel hybrid vesicle structures. The use of metal-coordinating functional surfactants has led to the expression of synergistic functionality in POM-based materials.
