Article Abstract
Through the descriptive and rheological characterization of worm-like micelles formed by N-hexadecyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bromide and sodium laurate, the formation and properties of the worm-like micelles were affected by the concentrations of sodium laurate and temperature. Additionally, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy images further validated the formation of worm-like micelles.

We employed a hybrid simulation approach that combines a lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method for simulating fluid flow with a molecular dynamics (MD) model for the polymers to investigate the translocation of comb-like copolymer vesicles driven by fluid flow through a nanochannel. Our findings reveal that the relationship between the critical flow rate () and the nanochannel diameter () can be divided into two distinct stages. In the first stage, when / is greater than 1.

Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) is well-known for its lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and widely studied as thermo-responsive micelles for various applications. However, the synthesis of micelles with precise structures often involves complex process. Herein, we developed a novel multi-responsive micelles hydrogel GBN, which was prepared by combining the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-poly (glycerol methacrylate) (PGMA-PNIPAM) and B─O crosslinking the micelles.

Amphiphilic copolymers can spontaneously form different structures such as micelles, worm-like micelles, and spherical and tubular polymersomes, determined by the ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks. Among them, polymersomes are composed of an aqueous core and a hydrophobic membrane that can encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Significant effort has been dedicated to developing polymersomes for targeted delivery of drugs, particularly in cancer therapy.

The micellar structure of CO-responsive surfactant systems changes upon the introduction of CO; however, molecular-level insights into this process are rarely reported. Therefore, this study designed a CO-responsive mixed system composed of long-chain tertiary amine and sodium salicylate (NaSal). Using density functional theory (DFT) and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations, we investigated the morphological transformation of micelles.
