Formation of Micelles with Complex Coacervate Cores
Open accessAbstract
Micelles are commonly regarded as colloidal structures spontaneously formed by amphiphilic molecules, that is, molecules consisting of two distinct parts of which one is soluble and the other is insoluble. This definition is too restrictive: other kinds of molecules can also form micelles. We report on the formation of micelles from a mixture of a (water-soluble) polyanion and a diblock copolymer with two entirely water-soluble blocks: one cationic and one neutral. The cationic block forms a complex coacervate with poly(acrylic acid); the neutral block serves as a stablizing block, prohibiting the growth of the complex coacervate droplets to macroscopic sizes. The formation of these micelles upon mixing is preceded by a macroscopic phase separation. The polymer-rich phase which initially forms rearranges into a stable micellar solution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
