Fig. 10. 1D and 2D micellar nanoparticles with potential for information storage. (A) Laser scanning confocal microscopy image of red-green-blue fluorescent ‘nanopixels’ grown from a unidirectional cross-linked seed micelle. (B) Structured illumination microscopy image of symmetrical red-green-blue fluorescent micelles which are stable to unimer exchange after 1 year in EtOAc at ambient conditions. (C) Schematic illustration and structured illumination microscopy image of PFDMS-based platelet micelles with concentric rings of nonfluorescent P2VP and red or green dye functionalised PDMS corona chains. (D) Laser scanning confocal microscopy image of ‘cross’ supermicelles formed by hierarchically assembled segmented cylindrical micelles functionalised with red and green fluorescent dyes. Panel (A) reproduced from ref. 150. Panel (B) reproduced from ref. 150 and 288. Panel (C) reproduced from ref. 144. Panel (D) reproduced from ref. 164.
