title: Formation of hydrophobic bridges between multicompartment micelles of miktoarm star terpolymers in water.
abstract: We report on the unexpected finding of the formation of hydrophobic bridges between polybutadiene patches of multicompartment micelles based on amphiphilic miktoarm star terpolymers in water.
