Polymeric micelles are representative self-assembly structures of block copolymers and have widely been investigated from both fundamental and applied aspects. In 1995, we discovered polyion complex ...

This study reports the first well-defined and stable nanomicelles (20−30 nm in diameter) self-assembled from amphiphilic brush (comb-like) cyclic and tadpole-shaped copolymers composed of hydrophobic ...

Micelles play a crucial role in dispersing hydrophobic inks and drug in water-based solutions. Recently, researchers compared the dye solubilization capacities of micelles made from block and random ...

A self-assembly technique allows chemists to build polymeric structures on the micrometer length scale. The resulting structures could ultimately be used for molecular electronics and drug delivery ...

Block copolymer micelles with well-defined core-shell structures significantly improve dye solubilization compared to random copolymers. This finding can lead to more efficient and cost-effective ...
