  • Title: Bump-surface multicompartment micelles from a linear ABC triblock copolymer: a combination study by experiment and computer simulation.
    Author: Ma Z, Yu H, Jiang W.
    Journal: J Phys Chem B; 2009 Mar 19; 113(11):3333-8. PubMed ID: 19243114.
    Abstract:
    Novel bump-surface multicompartment micelles formed by a linear amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymer via self-assembly in selective solvent were successfully observed both in simulation and experiment. The results revealed that the block A forms the most inner core, and the blocks B and C form the inner and outer layers, respectively, and the bumps were formed by block A and more likely to be born on curving surfaces. Moreover, the micelle shape could be controlled by changing the solvent selectivity of the blocks A and B. Spherical, cylindrical, and discoidal micelles with bumpy surfaces were obtained both in experiment and simulation.
