The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) in the presence of crystallization as the
second driving force is reviewed, for BCPs in the bulk, thin films, single crystals and micelles …

Crystallization of block copolymer microdomains can have a tremendous influence on the
morphology, properties and applications of these materials. In this review, particular …

Block polymers are formed by the covalent union of two or more chemically distinct
homopolymers. These composite macromolecules self-assemble into a variety of ordered …

A series of poly (ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (PEO-b-PS) diblock copolymers were
designed and synthesized to study the change in crystal orientation of PEO blocks under …

Block copolymers show interesting phase behavior if at least one of the constituting blocks is
crystallizable. The morphology development becomes highly complex when such a block …

Crystallization in polydisperse ethylene–octene multiblock copolymers, polymerized via
chain shuttling chemistry, is examined using two-dimensional synchrotron small-and wide …

Structure memory one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PCs) with recyclable, remoldable,
and self-healing properties are prepared by hierarchical self-assembly of semicrystalline …

With an annual production of hundreds of millions of tons, the few commodity polymers that
dominate the plastics market cannot satisfy all the applications and expectations. In this …

In supramolecular polymers, directional interactions control the constituting units
connectivity, but dispersion forces may conspire to make complex organizations. Here we …

With the annual production of millions of tons the few commodity polymers that dominate the
market cannot satisfy all the expectations. In this context, the fabrication of polymer-like …
