Abstract

Patchy multi-compartment micelles are formed on direct dissolution of a primary amine -based triblock copolymer , poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate), PEO- b -PCL- b -PAMA , in water , with PCL chains forming the micelle cores and the PEO and PAMA chains forming phase-segregated patchy or hemispherical coronas. By selectively silicifying the PCL cores with tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), the phase-separated character of these micelles is revealed by transmission electron microscopy .
