SANS reveals micellar and fractal aggregates in coexistence for both systems. In the case of SCPI-b-PS-b-PEO there is a higher content in fractal aggregates in comparison with PS-b-SCPI-b-PEO. In both cases the micellar aggregates are stable under different solution conditions, whereas the fractal aggregates appear to break upon addition of salt in the PS-b-SCPI-b-PEO system. The detailed picture of the micellar aggregates is consistent with the anticipated morphology of charged and neutral spherical macromolecular brushes, extended to mixed and sequential brushes. The analytical description obtained by SANS is used to interpret the LS data which is very sensitive to the presence of two species and therefore provides information on average values of the measured parameters. 37 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0subject matter expert LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2015 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Triblock terpolymers Micelles Fractal aggregates 1383012 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/1594/2/1594_Polymer%202015%20134.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/1594 LOMv1.0creator 2016-01-25T11:44:06Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-01-25T11:44:06Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
