Smectic polymer micellar aggregates with temperature-controlled morphologies

Smectic polymer micellar aggregates with temperature-controlled morphologies

Cryo-TEM images of PEG114-b-PAChol60 self-assemblies obtained in water at (a) 25 °C, (b) 40 °C, and (c) 55 °C. Scale bar = 100 nm. The upper insets in left images of a, b and c are parts of objects with higher magnification in order to highlight the stripes of smectic structure. The lower inset in image b (left) is Fourier transforms of the nanotube. (Image: Team Levy)
