AbstractWe present an asymototic analysis of small angle neutron scattering data of a comb-shaped charged copolymer, poly (1-octadecene-co-maleic anhydride), in D20. It is shown that at full ionization, the coRolymer self-asso iate to form cylindrical shape micelles with a radius 26Å and length 101 Å. The number of repeating units per micelle is calculated to be 200 and the hydration number 15 per repeating unit. The dimension of the cylinder remains approximately constant over the concentration range studied.

Solutions of a triblock copolymer, poly(oxyethylene)-block-poly(oxypropylene)-block-poly(oxyethylene) (POE-POP-POE), in deuterated water were studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) in the temperature range from 20 to 45 °C. Radius of gyration, molecular weight, second virial coefficient for both unimers and micelles, critical micelle concentration and unimer concentration were determined from the scattering data. Under assumption of the spherical core/shell micellar model structural parameters were estimated. Degree of swelling of the micellar core was evaluated from the mean-square fluctuation of scattering density.
