Using the Langevin dynamics, we studied the conformational properties of an AB copolymer single chain built of alternating stiff and flexible blocks having different steady-state affinities to a solvent. Two opposite conditions were simulated, viz., where a solvent is poor for stiff blocks and good for flexible blocks and vice versa. The behavior of the molecules built of equal-length blocks and long stiff blocks linked through short flexible junctions were considered. Upon transition of a chain to the compact state, nanostructures with different morphologies, such as bunches, networks, and others, can form.
