Abstract
The phase behavior and microstructure in ternary systems composed of an amphiphilic copolymer, an aqueous solvent (water) and an organic solvent (oil) are investigated. Results (at 25 °C) for a number of different block copolymers, consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) as the hydrophilic block and poly(propylene oxide, poly(1,2-butylene oxide), poly(n-butylene oxide)≡poly(tetrahydrofurane) or poly(styrene) as hydrophobic blocks, and for the p-xylene, n-butyl acetate and butan-l-ol organic solvents are reviewed. The effects on self-assembly of the copolymer and `oil' type are revealed.
