title: Transforming spherical block polyelectrolyte micelles into free-suspending films via DNA complexation-induced structural anisotropy.
abstract: The deliberately prepared one ssDNA/one micelle complex has an unstable toroidal DNA-bound region and stable upper and lower hemispheres, and thus can self-assemble along the plane of the unstable toroidal region into free-suspending films.
