Annotation: 

Multidisciplinary study of the tailored self-assembly of branched polyelectrolyte copolymers with surfactants in aqueous solutions aimed at deeper understanding of the relationship between the chain architecture and the structure, stability, thermodynamic behavior and properties of nanostructures formed under different conditions (pH, ionic strength, temperature) was carried out. A combination of dissipative particle dynamics and newly developed hybrid Monte Carlo method with experiments was used.
