The microphase separation of double-hydrophilic block copolymers in water is of interest when these copolymers are utilized as molecular assemblies with mesoscale aqueous compartments. Diblock copolymers composed of a water-soluble zwitterionic polymer, poly(carboxybetaine acrylate) (PCBA2), and a h...
