Multiple morphologies of aggregates from block copolymers containing glycopolymer segments

Abstract

Multiple morphologies of aggregates (micelle-like spheres, vesicles, tubules) from well-defined polystyrene-b-poly[(2-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)ethyl acrylate] (PS-b-PGEA) diblock copolymers in diluted aqueous solutions were observed by transmission electron microscopy.
