Single crystals and two-dimensional crystalline assemblies of block copolymers

Chen Yang et al.

Summary: In this paper, the morphology, surface structure, and related influencing factors of block copolymer single crystals (BCPSCs) are reviewed. The studies of 2D crystalline assemblies of block copolymers driven by crystallization and intermolecular pi-pi interaction are summarized. Moreover, the functionalization and properties of BCPSCs and 2D crystalline assemblies of BCPs are introduced. Finally, some unsolved problems in this field are proposed.

Emerging applications for living crystallization-driven self-assembly

Liam MacFarlane et al.

Summary: Crystallization is used as a tool to control the self-assembly of polymeric and molecular amphiphiles in solution, leading to the creation of non-spherical nanoparticles and complex hierarchical assemblies. The living CDSA method allows for predictable size control, access to branched and segmented structures, and has been applied to a wide range of crystallizable polymeric amphiphiles and supramolecular polymerizations.

Kinetically controlled synthesis of supramolecular block copolymers with narrow dispersity and tunable block lengths†

Aritra Sarkar et al.

Summary: In this study, the synthesis of well-defined supramolecular BCPs with tunable block lengths was demonstrated by varying the monomer to seed ratio in a kinetically controlled seeded supramolecular polymerization process. Structural Illumination microscopy (SIM) and spectroscopic analyses provided structural characterization of these supramolecular BCPs, offering various possibilities as axial organic heterostructures.
