Abstract:
Spherical assemblies named "reverse micellar vesicles" from self-assembling psuedopeptidic bottlebrush polymers are reported. These assemblies exhibited the combined features of both micelles and vesicles viz. molecular arrangement of classical micelles and dimensions similar to that of classical vesicles. Comprehensive ultramicroscopic and spectroscopic analyses were performed to delineate the hierarchical mechanism of their formation.
