Abstract
A method of forming persistent micelles is described. Particularly, methods disclosed herein include dissolving a block copolymer in a first solvent to form a dispersion containing unimers or dynamic micelles. Further, a method includes contacting the dispersion with a second solvent forming the persistent micelles. The persistent micelles formed by the method of the present disclosure can be used for controlled delivery of dispersions in organic electronic coatings, paint, or drug delivery applications and can also be used to control the pore size of films that include an oxide, a nitride, a carbide, a metal, or a carbon material.
