This paper reviews liposomes with crystalline phase and polymersomes exhibiting
crystalline and thermotropic liquid crystalline phases in the membrane. Intriguing …

Crystallization-dictated self-assembly of crystalline block copolymers (BCPs) in solution has
been utilized to produce many impressive nanostructures. However, when the assembly of …

Discarded micro/nano-plastic inputs into the environment are emerging global concerns. Yet
the quantification of micro/nanoplastics in complex environmental matrices is still a major …

Evaporation-induced structures in soft matter have been extensively studied. Recent work
showed that evaporative crystallization on a water surface (ECWS) provides a unique …

A unique case of sterically constrained crystallization arises in bottlebrush polymers bearing
semicrystalline side chains. Bottlebrushes with grafted side chains can form crystalline …

In water, amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) can self-assemble into various micelle
structures depicting curved liquid/liquid interface. Crystallization, which is incommensurate …

Scientific research on semicrystalline polymers started before the concept of
macromolecules was proposed by Staudinger. Extensive studies have been devoted by …

One of the fundamental laws in crystallization is translational symmetry, which accounts for
the profound shapes observed in natural mineral crystals and snowflakes. Herein, we report …

Nanoparticles can be assembled into complex structures and architectures by using a
variety of methods. In this review, we discuss recent progress of using polymer crystallization …

Crystalsomes are crystalline capsules that are formed by controlling polymer crystallization
to break translational symmetry. While recent studies showed that these crystalline capsules …
