How molecular internal‐geometric parameters affect PB‐PEO polymersome size in aqueous solution

Amphiphilic polybutadiene polyethylene oxide (PB‐PEO) is one of the best known chemistries to form stable vesicular morphologies, stated as polymersomes, in aqueous environment. Mimicking cell membranes, these structures self‐assemble in an “amphiphilic window” determined by 0.15
