Περίληψη:	The effect of sonication on the size and structure of polymeric aggregates formed by amphiphilic block copolymers was studied by the combination of dynamic and static light scattering. Poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polyisoprene, poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene diblock copolymers, and poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polyisoprene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer were used as typical polymeric amphiphiles. Sonication was found to be an effective method to break up inter-micellar associations and split large polymeric aggregates, present initially in the aqueous solutions, into monodisperse micelles. The content and type of hydrophobic block, copolymer solution-preparation protocol, and copolymer concentration were also investigated as co-factors in conjunction to the effect of sonication time.
