Figure 1. Characterization data of the nanostructures obtained from the self-assembly of diblock copolymers 1 or/and 2.

Figure 1

Assembly performed in THF/H2O (20/80 v/v) at 65 °C. (a) TEM image of cylindrical micelles achieved from the self-assembly of the L-enantiomer 1; (b) TEM image of cylindrical micelles achieved from the self-assembly of the D-enantiomer 2; (c) TEM image of spherical micelles obtained from the mixture of the L and D -enantiomers 1 and 2; (d,e) The homochiral cylinders showing Bragg peaks at 2θ values of 16.6° and 19.2° from WAXD diffractograms; (f) Stereocomplex spheres gave Bragg peaks at 2θ values of 12°, 20.6°, 23.8°. All assemblies were run for 30 h before analysis. TEM samples were prepared by slow drying and negatively stained using phosphotungstic acid (PTA). Scale bars=500 nm.
