Temperature-triggered reversible micellar self-assembly of linear-dendritic block copolymers.
Polymeric micelles based on a thermoresponsive linear-dendritic block copolymer were completely disrupted into unimers upon cooling the solution to a temperature below its LCST and reversibly regenerated upon heating again.
