Block Copolymers with Crystallizable Blocks: Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Applications
Holger Schmalz, Volker Abetz
Abstract
Block copolymers with crystallizable blocks are a highly interesting class of materials owing to their unique self-assembly behaviour both in bulk and solution. This Special Issue brings together new developments in the synthesis and self-assembly of semicrystalline block copolymers and also addresses potential applications of these exciting materials.
