Multimolecular micelles, formed by polystyrene-block-poly(methacrylic acid) in water, are studied by lattice Monte Carlo method. Electrostatic interactions are calculated in the mean-field approximation by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The model is parametrized according to available experimental data. The dependence of micellar size on pH and ionic strength is calculated and compared with experimental data. A special attention is devoted to the behavior in solutions with a low ionic strength.
