New synthetic concepts give, for example, even access to tetrablock copolymers with four crystalline blocks, bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (e.g., based on ABA triblock copolymers with poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) hard segments), and allow new, exciting insights into the interplay of microphase separation and crystallization in controlling self-assembly in bulk (confined vs. break-out crystalliza­tion).Concerning self-assembly in solution, crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) paved the way to a myriad of crystalline-core micellar structures and hierarchical super­structures that were not accessible before via self-assembly of fully amorphous block copolymers. This allows for the production of cylindrical micelles with defined lengths, length distribution, and corona chemistries (block type or patchy corona), as well as branched micelles and fascinating micellar superstructures (e.g., 2D lenticular platelets, scarf-shaped micelles, multidimensional micellar assemblies, and cross and ?windmill?-like supermicelles).This Special Issue brings together new developments in the synthesis and self-assembly of block copolymers with crystallizable blocks and also addresses emerging applications for these exciting materials. It includes two reviews on CDSA and eight contributions spanning from membranes for gas separation to self-assembly in bulk and solution. 517 $aBlock Copolymers with Crystallizable Blocks 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $acrystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) 610 $acrystalline-core micelles 610 $apatchy micelles 610 $ablock copolymers 610 $acrystal morphologies 610 $apolymer crystallization 610 $anucleation mechanism 610 $ascaling relations 610 $acrystallization-driven self-assembly 610 $acalcium alginate hydrogel 610 $acylindrical micelles 610 $apoly(vinylidene fluoride)/polymethylene 610 $ablends 610 $adiblock copolymers 610 $aferroelectric phase 610 $asemicrystalline block copolymers 610 $aphase separation and crystallization 610 $aepitaxial crystallization 610 $ananostructures 610 $akinetics 610 $afragmentation 610 $agrowth 610 $apolypeptoids 610 $acrystallization 610 $asolution self-assembly 610 $atriblock terpolymers 610 $apolyethylene (PE) 610 $apoly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) 610 $apoly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) 610 $atricrystalline spherulites 610 $acopolymer 610 $amembrane 610 $ahydrocarbon 610 $acohesive energy density 610 $agas separation 610 $asemicrystalline polymer 610 $a3D confinement 610 $aABC triblock terpolymers 610 $adegradation 610 $aemulsification 610 $amicroparticles 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aSchmalz$b Holger$4edt$01304464 702 $aAbetz$b Volker$4edt 702 $aSchmalz$b Holger$4oth 702 $aAbetz$b Volker$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557608203321 996 $aBlock Copolymers with Crystallizable Blocks: Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Applications$93027445 997 $aUNINA
