The addition of a non-adsorbing homopolymer to a block copolymer solution provides a convenient strategy for regulating its self-assembly. We systematically investigate the depletion effect from a homopolymer on the morphologies of AB diblock and BAB triblock copolymers in selective solvents. Increasing the homopolymer content results in larger spherical micelles, and the curvature of micelles is proportional to the square of homopolymer concentrations. A high enough homopolymer concentration may transfer micelles into vesicles. A deep analysis shows that the depletion effect produces attractive interaction between hydrophilic B blocks as well as their contraction on the micellar surface. The size of triblock copolymer micelles is not affected by homopolymers significantly, and spherical-to-wormlike micelle transition occurs at high homopolymer contents. These results have important applications for the precise design of self-assembled nanostructures of copolymer systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
