AB  - Over the past few decades, there has been remarkable progress in the construction 
      of self-assemblies in the field of supramolecular chemistry, such as micelles 
      with precisely controlled and refined structures. One promising approach 
      represents the previously proposed concept of Platonic micelles, in which the 
      aggregation number (N(agg) ) is discretized in accordance with vertexes of 
      regular polyhedra (i.e., Platonic solids), i.e., 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 units. 
      Herein, attempt is made to construct Platonic polymer micelles using rigid and 
      persistent architecture of molecular-bottlebrush-based surfactant (MBS). The 
      structure of MBS micelles is carefully elucidated using small-angle X-ray and 
      light scattering and analytical centrifugation measurements. This study shows 
      that the N(agg) of MBS micelles is consistent with one of the Platonic numbers 
      when N(agg) is intentionally set in the range of 4-20. In addition, some of the 
      MBS micelles demonstrate a discontinuous change in N(agg) , when the salt 
      concentration is changed, which is an important factor in controlling micellar 
      N(agg) . This is one of the characteristic aggregation behaviors of Platonic 
      micelles in surfactant systems, which strongly indicates the formation of 
      Platonic micelles from macromolecular surfactants.
