Block copolymers that consist of more than one chemically distinct polymer segment linked
together by covalent or noncovalent bonds, can work as an important type of …

Block copolymers constitute a class of self-assembling macromolecules that offer
remarkable flexibility for controlling nanostructure, both in discrete objects and in bulk …

Polyelectrolyte block copolymers form micelles and vesicles in aqueous solutions. Micelle
formation and micellar structure depends on various parameters like block lengths, salt …

In aqueous medium amphiphilic block copolymers can principally self assemble into
spherical micelles, worm-like or cylindrical micelles, and polymer vesicles or polymersomes …

Polymeric assemblies, such as micelles, vesicles, nanofibers, and macroscopic tubes, have
attracted great attention in recent years.[1] These organized assemblies, which have sizes …

Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly is one of the most versatile concepts for the bottom-up
design of functional nanostructures in materials science, nanomedicine and …

The development of nanodevices currently requires the formation of morphologically
controlled or highly ordered arrays of metal, semiconducting, or magnetic nanoparticles. In …

Polymeric formulations (micelles, vesicles etc.) have emerged as versatile drug carriers due
to their increased stability, site specificity, blood circulation resistance and thus overall …

Selective drug targeting of a specific organ or tissue is a challenging task. This holds
especially true for chemotherapeutic cancer treatment because most of the available …

Abstract This Feature Article provides an overview of the progress made over the last few
years in the design of diblock copolymer micelles based on crystallization-driven self …
