The formation of vesicles in a binary blend of an amphiphilic diblock copolymer AB/homopolymer C was studied in a dilute solution using the real space two-dimensional self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Special attention was played to the role played by the homopolymer C in controlling the vesicle

โฆ Synopsis
Amphiphilic fluorosiloxane graft copolymers with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) backbone, a hydrophobic fluorosiloxane side-chain and three hydrophilic polyether side-chains were synthesized by hydrosilation reaction in this work. The micellization of amphiphilic graft copolymers in the water/ethanol solvent system was investigated, and vesicles with different size were formed after the self-assembly system was aged for different time.

Crew-cut micelle-like aggregates represent a new type of aggregate formed in solution by the self-assembly of highly asymmetric amphiphilic block copolymers. The aggregates are termed crew-cut because the dimensions of the core are bigger than those of the corona. They are prepared by first dissolvi
