Micellar phase control of thermoresponsive polymeric micelles (PAA-co-PAN) via upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in aqueous environment was explored using DPD simulations. Performing a thermal scan we show that above its UCST a stable micellar system is generated. When the temperature decreases below the UCST (304 K), the colloidal system becomes thermodynamically unstable generating hydrophobic particles with PAN core and PAA-shell. A notable effect is the generation of a cloud point and this polymeric multiphase behaviour is used to show the removal of methylene-blue dye from a solution. The stages of the removal process via cloud point are shown in detail.
