Figure 1. Parameters controlling micelle geometry and patch morphology.

Figure 1

(a) Chemical structure of the polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) triblock terpolymer (SBT). (b) Suggested structural control: the length of the soluble PT corona (green chain) controls the micelle geometry to spheres, cylinders, bilayer sheets and vesicles; (c) the block lengths of the insoluble and immiscible blocks, PS (grey) and PB (black), determine the patch morphology to spherical, cylindrical, bicontinuous and lamellar.
