The blends of epoxy/amine/acrylic block copolymer (BCP) provided nanophase structures by optimizing the dissolution process of BCP. The thermal dissolution of the BCP in the amine promoted the in situ formation of carboxylic acids. Tuning the amount of carboxylic acids changed the phase structure, such variations led to the formation of different types of micelle structures, such as curved lamellae, coexisting of worm-like micelles and vesicles, and spherical micelles from epoxy/amine/BCP blends having the same composition.
