TITLE
Self-assembling and micellization characteristics of well-defined lipid-mimic brush polymers
Abstract
Self-assembly characteristics of well-defined lipid-mimic brush polymers were in detail
investigated in nanoscale thin films and at the air-water interface. The brush polymer self-assembled in thin
films as a fully-extended chain via favorable lateral packing of the bristles in a fully extended conformation,
always forming well-ordered horizontal multibilayer structure with no interdigitation in the neighbored layers
(i.e., edge-on structure). The brush polymers further demonstrated to self-assemble even at the air-water
interface as an ordered Langmuir monolayer that resembled a single layer in the multibilayer structure in
nanoscale thin films. This study provided all the structural details of the multibilayer structure formed in
nanoscale thin films and of the Langmuir monlayer formed at the air-water interface. In addition, their
micelle formation characteristics were examined in detail.
