Figure 3
(a) Outer radius of micelles formed by the polymers with the medium length PNIPAAM block where the cationic polymer is denoted with triangles and the anionic polymer with circles in salt-free aqueous solution (closed symbols) and in an aqueous solution of 30 mM NaCl (open symbols). (b) Outer cross-section radius of the cylindrical micelles formed by the polymers with the large PNIPAAM block length. The symbol signatures are the same as in (a). All lines are guides for the eye; the lines are heavier for pure water and lighter for the aqueous salt solutions. |
