The liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) widely exists in biology
synthetic chemistry
crystallization kinetics and other fields
and it is very important to realize the related functions. The research on the competition between LLPS and micellization/vesiculation has made considerable progress. However
the way to effectively control the formation paths from homogeneous state to aggregates has not been completely solved
which is vital to determine its structure and properties and even its future functions. Here we describe the phenomenon of LLPS and its effect on the dynamic process of self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers (BCPs). Starting from the establishment of phase diagram
we explore the existence conditions of LLPS state
the internal morphology and external size of large droplets
and its significant implications to the dynamic path of vesicle formation. Vesicles formed
via
LLPS have larger sized outer dimensions and inner cavities
and contain more solvents during certain stages. The detailed research of LLPS and its self-assembly simulation has contributed to completing its theoretical basis and practical applications in the future in various fields.
