Thermally induced micelle to vesicle morphology transition for a charged chain end diblock copolymer

Abstract

A quaternary amine end functionalised diblock copolymer (PtBuA-b-PNIPAM) has been synthesised using RAFT polymerisation and shown to undergo a thermally induced morphology transition from micelles to vesicles, as evidenced by TEM, AFM, SLS and DLS analyses.
