Micellization DOI: 10.1002/anie.201402525 Chaotropic-Anion-Induced Supramolecular Self-Assembly of Ionic Polymeric Micelles** Yang Li, Yiguang Wang, Gang Huang, Xinpeng Ma, Kejin Zhou, and Jinming Gao* Dedicated to Professor George M. Whitesides on the occasion of his 75th birthday Abstract: Traditional micelle self-assembly is driven by the association of hydrophobic segments of amphiphilic molecules forming distinctive core–shell nanostructures in water. Here we report a surprising
