✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Summary: Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed on the distribution of binary nanoparticle mixtures in lamellar diblock copolymers. The results show that the self‐assembly of nanoparticle mixtures in polymer matrix is a cooperative assembly that is affected by various factors, providing molecular‐level information for the rational design of new polymer nanocomposites with tailored properties.

## Abstract **Summary:** Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed on the distributions of two agents in a core‐shell‐corona multicompartment micelle. The simulated results show that when the agents are weakly hydrophobic, their distributions in the multicompartment micelle are largel
