New Paper: “Unsupervised learning unravels the structure of four-arm and linear block copolymer micelles”

In our recent manuscript, we provide new fundamental insights into the microscopic structure of linear and four-arm block copolymers (members of the Pluronic and Tetronic families, respectively). The Pluronics and Tetronics typically self-assemble into small micelles in aqueous solution, which have found societally important applications in biomaterials and drug delivery. …

New Paper: “Understanding the pH-Directed Self-Assembly of a Four-Arm Block Copolymer”

In this work, we elucidate the pH-directed self-assembly of Tetronic 304 (T304), a four-arm block copolymer.  T304, as the smallest member of the Tetronics family, acts as an ideal testing ground to probe the underlying mechanisms that determine the self-assembly behaviour of this important class of polymers, which are of …
