Constructing unique micelle structures of charged block copolymers via co-assembly with organic counterions Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A variety of fascinating micelle structures have been achieved by the assembly of charged triblock copolymers through the interaction with organic counterfoils in mixed THF/water solution. Essentially, the formation of toroidal micelles was observed in specific conditions of polymer chain constitution, the chain length of each block, the ratio of THF to water and mixing procedures. Our results showed that final assembled structures can be easily tuned by either varying the chain structure of organic counteirons or changing the ratios of THF to water.
