Characterization of copolymer micelles experimental techniques

The physical methods for the characterization mainly of block copolymer micellar systems have been reviewed extensively by Tuzar [114],Munk [115], Chu and Zhou [116],Webber [117] and by Hamley [11] who have also listed systematically the different techniques which have been applied for given block copolymers. These reviews were completed 

SANS and SAXS Molecular weight (weight average), Ry R ore 

U Itracentrifugation Micelle density, molecular weight (Z average), micelle/unimer weight ratio 

Eluorescence techniques Chain dynamics, CMC, hybridization of micelles 

Stop flow techniques Kinetics of micelle formation and dissociation
