Micelles are spherical molecular structures usually formed by amphiphilic molecules with block structure, which contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. The hydrophobic tails of these molecules ...

Micelles play a crucial role in dispersing hydrophobic inks and drug in water-based solutions. Recently, researchers compared the dye solubilization capacities of micelles made from block and random ...

Cationic block copolymers containing a quaternized pyridinium salt and hydrophobic acrylates were prepared, and their fundamental properties as ink dispersants were evaluated. Block copolymers ...

Block copolymer micelles with well-defined core-shell structures significantly improve dye solubilization compared to random copolymers. This finding can lead to more efficient and cost-effective ...
