A Facile Method for Generating Worm-like Micelles with Controlled Lengths and Narrow Polydispersity

This work shows that highly uniform worm micelles formed by polymerisation induced self-assembly can be obtained via simple postsynthesis sonication. Importantly, this straightforward and versatile strategy yields exceptionally monodisperse worms with tunable aspect ratios ranging from 7.2 to 17.6 by simply changing the sonication time.
