COMMENTS -- P85 Pluronic is formed of a triblock PEO-PPO-PEO. -- P85 Pluronic forms micelles above the Critical Micelle Temperature (CMT). -- Spherical micelles contain PPO core (hydrophobic) and PEO shell (hydrophilic). -- Core-shell form factor and hard-core interaction potential yield model for the cross section. -- Material balance equation gives detailed results about the spherical micelles.
