Figure 4.

Simulation snapshots and analysis of the aggregate structural changes when a_AW is varied in the system containing A₁₉ (4%), A₁-b-S₆ (13%), and S₆ (3%). Solvent beads are omitted for clarity. The color scheme is the same as that of Figure 1. The data graphs show mean aggregation number ${\overline{X}}_n$, polydispersity index (P) of the solvophobic cores, and the order parameter (φ) of the overall aggregate versus the more solvophobic polymer–solvent interaction parameter a_AW. Error bars are smaller than the symbol size. The scatter in the data is due to finite size effects in the simulations.
