Abstract
Five coarse-grained models were built for amphiphilic random copolymers. The self-assembly of amphiphilic random copolymers in selective solvent was investigated via dissipative particle dynamics simulations. The simulation results showed that the content of hydrophilic particles and the repulsive parameter between solvent and copolymer particles were two key factors of the vesicle formation. We report herein on how to control the self-assembled morphology evolution. The two mechanisms of vesicle formation from amphiphilic random copolymers are found through investigating the dynamic processes of vesicle formation, which is in accordance with the experiment and simulation results of amphiphilic block copolymer reported in the literature.
