Theory of the Flower Micelle Formation of Amphiphilic Random and Periodic Copolymers in Solution

The mixing Gibbs energy Δgm for the flower-micelle phase of amphiphilic random and periodic (including alternating) copolymers was formulated on the basis of the lattice model. The formulated Δgm predicts (1) the inverse proportionality of the aggregation number to the degree of polymerization of th...
