Self-Assembly Behavior of ABC Triblock Copolymer under Special Solvation Conditions: A Monte Carlo Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we report morphological transition of ABC triblock copolymer dissolved in special solvents that were good for the A block, poor for the B block, and marginal for the C block. The aggregate structure changes from rod to vesicle, and then to spherical superaggregates by changing the hydrophobicity of block B. Chain packing in different micelles is investigated.
