a
Subscripts denote the content of the respective polymer block in wt% and superscript denotes the number-average molecular weight in kg mol−1 determined by a combination of MALDI-ToF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization – time of flight mass spectrometry) and 1H NMR.
b
Hydrodynamic radii of the sCCMs determined by DLS.
c
Average sizes ± standard deviation as determined by TEM image analysis of at least 100 micelles/patches.
