Study of hierarchical microstructures self-assembled by π-shaped ABC block copolymers in dilute solution using self-consistent field theory

► The complex self-assembled microstructures of π-shaped copolymers was studied by self-consistent field theory. ► The distance of the two graft blocks has stronger effect than other factors on phase behavior. ► The wormlike multicore micelle can be controlled by the distance of the two graft blocks. ► The streamline wormlike micelle is more stable than others from the free energy analysis.
