The physics of block copolymers
TLDR
The self consistent field theory of block copolymers has been studied in this article, where the authors describe the behavior of blockcopolymers in a variety of ways: 1. Melt Phase Behaviour of Block Copolymers 2. Block copolymer in Dilute Solution 3. Block Copylmers in Semidilute Solution 4.Abstract:

Micellization of block copolymers
TL;DR: A general overview of the preparation, characterization and theories of block copolymer micellar systems is presented in this paper, with examples of micelle formation in aqueous and organic medium are given for di-and triblock copolymers, as well as for more complex architectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directing the self-assembly of block copolymers
TL;DR: A review of block copolymers can be found in this paper, which summarizes existing applications and alignment techniques and provides an outlook toward the future. But, with few exceptions, the alignment methods are general to a specific morphology or set of morphologies.

Patterning with block copolymer thin films
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review a variety of mechanisms for gaining control over block copolymer order as well as many of the applications of these materials and the potential of perfecting long-range two-dimensional order over a broader range of length scales and the extension of these concepts to functional materials and more complex architectures.

Multicompartment micelles from ABC miktoarm stars in water.
TL;DR: By combining three mutually immiscible polymeric components in a mixed-arm star block terpolymer architecture, this work has observed the formation of a previously unknown class of multicompartment micelles in dilute aqueous solution.
