abstract = {Poly(butadiene-ethylene oxide) (PB-PEO) block copolymers
form wormlike micelles in water. These structures can be
characterized over a very broad range of length. scales,
ranging from the contour and persistence length to the
core/corona diameter and the total aggregation number. Here
we use fluorescence microscopy, dynamic and static light
scattering and small angle neutron scattering to obtain
information on the full range of length scales, while
changing the solvent selectivity of the block copolymer by
varying the molar ratio of mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide
(DMF) and water. We show that the wormlike micelles become
very small and flexible before a transition to spherical
micelles sets in decreasing the interfacial tension. We
calculated the free energy contributions for the different
species using the experimental input and confirmed that the
transition to spherical micelles is energetically favored.},
