What is Crystallization-Driven Solution-State Assembly of Conjugated Block Copolymers in Materials Science about?

Conjugated polymers are a promising material scaffold alternative to inorganic semiconductors for large-area flexible, stretchable electronics because of their tunable optoelectronic properties, mechanical compliance, compositional tailorability, light weight, and low-cost solution processability. In particular, solution-state crystallization-driven assembly of conjugated block copolymers (BCPs) consisting of a rigid rod-like conjugated polymer and a flexible coil-like polymer is attracting growing attention as a nanomaterial manufacturing strategy to customize such functions and performance based on the understanding of hierarchical, complex solution-state self-assembly of BCP into nanoparticles. In this Perspective, we highlight substantial advances in developing crystallization-driven assembly of conjugated BCPs by discussing fabrication methods and nanoaggregate formation mechanisms, accessible controls on molecular packing, arrangement, and orientation within the aggregates and nanostructural diversity, and their applications. The resultant nanoparticles are under exploration in various fields, with potential from optoelectronics to biomedicine. The conjugated BCPs can form th
