Query: Simple and complex micelles in amphiphilic mixtures: a coarse-grained
  mean-field study   Binary mixtures of amphiphiles in solution can self-assemble into a wide
range of structures when the two species individually form aggregates of
different curvatures. In this paper, we focus on small, spherically-symmetric
aggregates in a solution of sphere-forming amphiphile mixed with a smaller
amount of lamella-forming amphiphile. Using a coarse-grained mean-field model
(self-consistent field theory, or SCFT), we scan the parameter space of this
system and find a range of morphologies as the interaction strength,
architecture and mixing ratio of the amphiphiles are varied. When the two
species are quite similar in architecture, or when only a small amount of
lamella-former is added, we find simple spherical micelles with cores formed
from a mixture of the hydrophobic blocks of the two amphiphiles. For more
strongly mismatched amphiphiles and higher lamella-former concentrations, we
instead find small vesicles and more complex micelles. In these latter
structures, the lamella-forming species is encapsulated by the sphere-forming
one. For certain interaction strengths and lamella-former architectures, the
amount of lamella-forming copolymer encapsulated may be large, and the
implications of this for the solubilization of hydrophobic chemicals are
considered. The mechanisms behind the formation of the above structures are
discussed, with a particular emphasis on the sorting of amphiphiles according
to their preferred curvature.
