Cationic Amphiphilic Alternating Copolymers with Tunable Morphology

A series of ionic amphiphilic alternating copolymers were characterized via SAXS, TEM and DLS to help understand factors that could potentially affect self-assembly, including the degree of polymerization, the length of hydrophobic spacers between ionic units, the distance between charged groups and polymer backbone, solvent environment and counterions.
