Self-organization of water-soluble complexes of a poly(2-vinylpyridinium)-block(ethylene oxide) was discussed. Complexation of these complexes with fluorinated anionic surfactants was done. Results showed that these types of micellar systems have the potential as drug carriers in various fields such as coatings, cosmetics, food and enhanced oil recovery.
