Extreme size-sorting of dendrimicelles made under off-stoichiometric conditions. (a) CryoTEM micrograph of the formed dendrimicelle superstructure. (b) Heat map plot of dendrimicelle superstructure, with the individual dendrimicelles color-coded according to the core area as determined from the cryoTEM micrograph in (a), emphasizing the size-sorting present. (c) The average micelle core diameter is 36 ± 18 nm. (d) The average micelle size, as determined from the micelle core-core distances is 48 ± 12 nm. (e) Plotting the micelle core area versus the radial distance to the center of the dendrimicelle superstructure confirms the size-sorting of the dendrimicelles. (f) Schematic illustration of the amplified thin film-templated size sorting. Scale bar is 100 nm.
