Abstract
We show that in aqueous solution, diblock copolymers, where one block is hydrophobic and the other hydrophilic can undergo self-assembly in three dimensions in a manner similar to small molecule amphiphiles. In addition, two dimensional self-assembly has been studied at the air-w ater interface. We describe the various morphologies which have been o bserved in these systems and the parameters which we can use to tailor them.
