Abstract
Summary: Dissipative particle dynamics simulations were performed to study the effect of shear on the rheological behavior of multicompartment micellar solutions, demonstrating that both shear thickening and thinning can occur, and the macroscopic behavior was elucidated at a molecular level. In addition, a novel shearโinduced morphology of โsphereโonโrodโ was observed. This work provides useful information towards a complete understanding of the properties and morphologies of multicompartment micelles that is useful for future rational synthesis of novel micelles.

## Abstract **Summary:** The morphologies of diblock copolymers confined in a cylindrical tube have been investigated by the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. Results indicate that the morphology depends on the volume ratio of the immiscible blocks, the diameter of the cylindrical tube an
