... However, a competing process of micelle formation (see Figure) reduces efficiency of the copolymers as stabilizers. ... We have developed a theory of micelle formation in solution of AB and AC diblock copolymers. ... Despite a number of theoretical studies in the field of micelle formation in solutions of diblock copolymers with a charged block, the problem of equilibrium distribution of counterions was not considered properly. ...
