Critical Micelle Concentration of Micelles with Different Geometries in Diblock Copolymer/Homopolymer Blends

Abstract It is well‐known that A‐B diblock copolymers in selective solvents or A‐homopolymers can form micelles of different shapes. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of three basic micelle shapes (lamellar, cylindrical, and spherical) are calculated using the self‐consistent field theory formulated in the grand canonical ensemble. For a given set of molecular parameters, the stable micelle morphology is determined by a comparison of the …
