128. In principle, one can use a soft, planar substrate to prepare mixed brushes for microtoming.
129. It should be noted here that polymeric micelles with mixed chains in the corona layer can be viewed as mixed brush-grafted particles, where the core is a "soft" polymeric particle. Nanoscale phase separation has been observed in this type of block copolymer micelles.
