Theory of critical micelle concentration for solutions of block copolymers
Abstract
A simple microscopic model for micellar formation in mixtures of block copolymers and homopolymers is presented. The size, number of chains, and energy of formation of micelle are calculated. The fraction of copolymer chains aggregating into micelles is computed as a function of the overall copolymer content. A critical micelle concentration behavior is found for low copolymer contents even for weak incompatibilities of species. The similarity with an aborted phase transition is underlined.

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.
