Branched micelles by living crystallization-driven block copolymer self-assembly under kinetic control.

TL;DR: It is found that the width and shape of the crystalline core of fiberlike micelles of polyferrocenyldimethylsilane (PFDMS) diblock copolymers can be varied by altering the degree of polymerization of PFDMS, and also the chemistry of the complementary corona-forming block.
