Results are presented using molecular dynamics (MD) of the self-assembly of the conjugated polyelectrolyte poly[9,9-bis(4-sulfonylbutoxyphenylphenyl) fluorene-2,7-diyl-2,2'-bithiophene] (PBS-PF2T) with 680 mM pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C<sub>12</sub>E₅) in water. Simulations are used to examine the interaction between PBS-PF2T and C<sub>12</sub>E₅ and suggest a break-up of PBS-PF2T aggregates in solution. These systems are dominated by the formation of cylindrical phases at temperat ...[more]
