Abstract: The self-assembly of PS-PMMA/PMMA in selective solvents was studied by dynamic laser light scattering(DLS) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The selective solvent was the good solvent for PS block while it was a precipitant for PMMA block and homopolymer. The results showed that the PS-PMMA/PMMA with a proper molecular weight and composition could self-assemble into micelles with mono-dispersity distribution. The homopolymer(PMMA) could assemble into the core of the micelles by a special interaction with the block PMMA and accelerate the process of the micellization. The micelles with different sizes can be obtained conveniently by adjusting the content of the homopolymer.
