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 …

The crystallization of heterogeneously nucleated bulk polymers typically occurs in a single
exothermic process, within a narrow temperature range, ie, a single exothermic peak is …

The creation of shaped, uniform and colloidally stable two-dimensional (2D) assemblies by
bottom-up methods represents a challenge of widespread current interest for a variety of …

It is recorded that Théophile-Jules Pelouze first synthesized poly (lactic acid)(PLA) by
polycondensation of lactic acid in 1845. 1 In 1932, Wallace Hume Carothers et al …

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

Biodegradable block copolymers have been obtained as promising biomaterials because
their hydrophilicity, mechanical and physical properties can be manipulated by combining …

Recently, polymer crystallization in ultrathin films (thickness less than 100nm) on solid
substrates has attracted increased attention. As it can be considered to be a quasi-two …

The crystallization kinetics and morphology of biodegradable and double crystalline poly (l-
lactide)-b-poly (ε-caprolactone) diblock copolymers (PLLA-b-PCL) was studied in a wide …

Well-defined multicrystalline multiblock polymers are essential model polymers for
advancing crystallization physics, phase separation, self-assembly, and improving the …

Polymer single crystals and correlated crystalline structures are reviewed by emphasizing
the last 10–20 years of research on fundamental concepts, single crystal engineering, and …
