Single-chain Monte Carlo simulations of amphiphilic diblock star copolymerswere carried out in continuous space using implicit solvents. Two distinctarchitectures were studied: stars with the hydrophobic blocks attached to thecore, and stars with the polar blocks attached to the core, with all arms beingof equal length. The ratio of the lengths of the hydrophobic block to thelength of the polar block was varied from 0 to 1. Stars with 3, 6, 9 or 12arms, each of length 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100 Kuhn segments were analysed.Four distinct types of conformations were observed for these systems. These,apart from studying the snapshots from the simulations, have beenquantitatively characterised in terms of the mean-squared radii of gyration,mean-squared distances of monomers from the centre-of-mass, asphericityindices, static scattering form factors in the Kratky representation as well asthe intra-chain monomer-monomer radial distribution functions.Comment: 12 pages, 11 ps figures.
