BUNCHY MICELLES

This paper presents a theoretical study of the micellization of macros urfactants, tailored by attaching a soluble long polymer chain to an i nsoluble solid bead. I show that the porous structure of the micelle c ore leads to a new micellization scenario and provides simple geometri c rules for determining the aggregate properties. The results are disc ussed within the context of the micellization of diblock copolymers in a selective solvent.
