We review recent work on colloidal particles bearing a dense layer of linear polyelectrolyte
chains on their surface. These systems have been termed “spherical polyelectrolyte …

Small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering are techniques, which are frequently used for
studying the structure and interactions of block copolymer micelles. Recent developments of …

A series of sodium poly (styrene sulfonate)[hyphen] block [hyphen] poly (4 [hyphen] tert
[hyphen] butylstyrene)(NaPSS [hyphen] b [hyphen] PtBS) copolymers and related …

We report on a study of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes that consist of a solid core onto
which linear polyelectrolyte chains are chemically grafted. The core particles are made up of …

We present an overview of statistical thermodynamic theories that describe the self-
assembly of amphiphilic ionic/hydrophobic diblock copolymers in dilute solution. Block …

We have comparatively studied the association of cyclic-and linear-poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)(c-PNIPAM and l-PNIPAM) chains with varying chain lengths and end …

We consider self-assembly of block copolymers with one charged (polyelectrolyte) and one
hydrophobic block in a salt-added solution. In the case of short hydrophobic and long …

We present a mean-field theory to describe micelles formed by diblock copolymer with one
neutral and one polyelectrolyte block in dilute aqueous solution. We examine equilibrium …

We review our recent work on polymeric latex particles having a well‐defined surface of
grafted polymers. Two types of particles are discussed: i) particles with a thermosensitive …

Using dissipative particle dynamics simulation, structural evolution from concentric
multicompartment micelles to raspberry-like multicompartment micelles self-assembled from …
