Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The co‐assembly</bold> of spherical colloids and surfactant–cyclodextrin microtubes yields a library of dynamic colloid‐in‐tube structures, including helices. In situ observations of these structures, including their thermo‐reversible assembly and disassembly, demonstrate the potential of the interplay between molecular and colloidal self‐assembly, thereby providing a novel route to temperature‐sensitive particle alignment and release.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v78m52p" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
