Popis: Morphology transformations of multicompartment assemblies of polystyrene-polyisoprene-poly(2-vinylpyridine), PS-PI-P2VP, was demonstrated. As the solvent quality is continuously varied the triblock copolymer experiences transformations from core-shell-corona micelles to particles with perforated lamellae, or from multicompartment micelles into PI-perforated PS-P2VP lamellae. Such multicompartment self-assemblies and morphology transformations may find potential applications as vehicles for multi-drugs or other active substances.
