DPD simulations showing the formation pathway and morphology evolution of self-assemblies. a Unimolecular structure, b–d spherical structures, e cylindrical structures, f intermediate structures from cylinders to vesicles, g vesicular structures, h, i intermediate structures from vesicles to worm-like micelles, j long worm-like structures, k curved worm-like structures, l hollow spherical structures, m–o intermediate structures of dense nanoparticles, and p ellipsoid nanoparticle structures. The water beads are omitted for clarity (see Methods section for the detailed simulation parameters)
