The effects of solvent quality on stability of diblock copolymer micellar lattice were discussed. The diblock copolymers in a selective solvent form spherical micelles have selective corona and precipitated cores. The stability of the diblock copolymer micelles never decreases on a small increase of the content of diethyl phthalate (DEP) in the solvent. The mild reduction of the osmotic correlation due to small increase of DEP enhances the lattice stability.
