Title: Effect of Block Length and Side Chain Length Ratios on Determining a Multicompartment Micelle Structure

Abstract

Previous work has identified the importance of the lipophilic-fluorophilic block length ratio Rl in predicting the morphology of linear lipophilic-hydrophilic-fluorophilic (hereafter referred to as BAC) micelle systems. Here, a generalized form R of this structural parameter is developed that makes no assumption of BAC triblock copolymer linearity, while still providing accurate predictions of micelle morphology. Here, the morphologies of BAC micelles formed by triblock copolymers with R <<1 or R >>1 have similar features, with the only notable difference being an inversion of the lipophilic and fluorophilic regions. A destabilization of the single-core micelle structure occurs as R approaches unity from either direction. Finally, the extent to which micelle morphology depends on polymer architecture instead of composition alone is examined, with decreased patchiness observed in BAC systems with very long block lengths. Through modification of both the R-value and the polymer architecture, the micelle morphology can be effectively tuned for use in immobilized catalysis and nanoreactor applications.
