Abstract
The results are presented from the lattice canonical Monte Carlo simulation of Ising-like model of nano-structure micelles in the presence of hydrophobically modified polymers. To simulate nano-cluster formation, the simplest model of potential, like to the previous work, is used. The model is based on the hydrophobic interactions as a main driving force for nonionic micellization. Polymer structure is changed from previous one, (H4T4)5, to (H10T10)2 to remove the small length of tail in the monomer of polymer in comparison with the diameter of the micelles bound to it. Results show that this small change in arrange of head/tail sites of polymer leads to a distinct variation in micellization.
