N\/(N\+ Nb), and Flory parameter characterizing effective interactions between unlike monomers. Here, we will deal with the strong segregation limit where the A/B interfaces are narrow, and we focus on the case of relativelylong homopolymers B, which are thus excluded from both inner (A) and outer (B) parts of the aggregates.The situation seems to be clear when the copolymer is asymmetric with a small A block if< 0.5). The organization is controlled by the competition between the tendency to decrease the interfacial area of AB contacts and the necessity to keep the overall density constant in the aggregate, which implies stretching of the chains. As a result the A/B interfaces tend to curve so that the short A block is located on the inside. Hence, as the copolymer symmetry increases, one expects less curved shapes to occur, namely, cylindrical aggregates andeventually bi-layers (lameliarlike aggregates) for nearly symmetric copolymers. 9
