Figure 9

Schematic cartoon illustrating the two possible mechanisms proposed for the concomitant increase in micelle diameter and aggregation number during the growth of the core-forming PBzMA block. Mechanism (a) involves exchange of individual copolymer chains between micelles following nucleation, while mechanism (b) involves isotropic sphere–sphere fusion events.
