✦ Synopsis

Incorporation of amphiphilic monomers into the backbone of a flexible hydrophilic chain is expected to modify the structure of the micelles as well as their thermodynamics. Intrachain micellisation affects the configurations of the polymeric backbone and its elasticity. Interchain micelles give rise to the formation of physical gels.
