Fig. 10. Schematic representations and corresponding TEM images of the hierarchical self-assembly of amphiphilic B–A–B triblock comicelles. M(PFS-b-P2VP)-b-M(PFS-b-PDMS)-b-M(PFS-b-P2VP) (P2VP = poly(2-vinylpyridine)) with B block lengths of 90 nm and different A block lengths of 110 (A), 260 (B) and 505 nm (C) after dialysis from hexane/isopropanol against pure isopropanol. (D–F) Schematics of the supermicelles formed. For simplicity, the A and B blocks are represented as red and green cylinders, respectively. Scale bars correspond to 500 nm.
