摘要
Dissipative particle dynamics method was used to study the multicompartment micelles formed from star-dendritic triblock copolymers in selective solvents, in which particular attention was paid to the effects of dendritic structure. The simulations show that the dendritic structure not only influences the morphology and the formation process of multicompartment micelles formed, but also the response of the micelle structure to solvent quality. The information obtained is useful for the future design of multicompartment micelles for practical applications, especially in the field of drug delivery. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
