Figure 1. Preparation of monodisperse BCP^P micelles.

Schematic depiction of (a) BCP^P and (b) the living CDSA of BCP^P in a selective solvent to afford monodisperse cylindrical micelles with a crystalline PFS core (orange) and a phosphine-functionalized polysiloxane corona (pink). The micelle illustrations in this figure are of idealized structures. The polysiloxane corona presumably overhangs at the core termini to provide some ‘dynamic' coverage of the crystal face.
