Fig. 3. Reduction of oxidized micelles to a neutral polymer. (a) Schematic depicting addition of Co(Cp*)2 to oxidized PTh80-b-PTe60, resulting in reduced PTh80-b-PTe60. (b) DLS demonstrates the change in size distributions from oxidized (red trace) to reduced (blue trace) PTh80-b-PTe60. (c–e) Kelvin probe force microscopy images of the (c) oxidized and (d) reduced polymer, with potential measurements across indicated black lines plotted in (e). White scale bars = 100 nm.
