Abstract.
The diblock copolymer of methyl methacrylate and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl methacrylate was shown to form micelles which could be deposited and imaged on a flat substrate upon casting from a solvent which is selective for the PMMA block, e.g. toluene and THF. The micelle formation was significantly affected by a small content of PMMA homopolymer. While the pure blockcopolymer formed cylindrical micelles, the presence of the PMMA shifted the associated equilibrium to the side of spherical aggregates.
