Multiple self-assembled nanostructures from an oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) containing rod-coil-rod triblock copolymer.
Induced by systematic variation of the initial polymer concentration in toluene, various morphologies of aggregates including vesicles, spheres, onion-like structures, and worm-like fibers from a rod-coil-rod triblock copolymer, oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)-polystyrene-oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene), were observed by transmission electron microscopy.
