Abstract

The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) to form nanostructures of various morphologies and controllable dimensions has been a very promising research area in nanotechnology in recent decades. This concept mainly summarizes the recent advances in precise and controllable self-assembly of BCPs through a tailored nucleation-growth strategy to modulate the self-assembly behavior of the BCPs. These efforts have led to a better understanding of the self-assembly mechanisms and opened new possibilities for creating novel materials with designable properties. We hope that the concept is more than a periodical summary of previous research work and can provide valuable inspiration for the research field.
