Supramolecular self-assembly of block copolymers in aqueous solution has received ever-increasing interest over the past few decades due to diverse biological and technological applications in drug delivery, imaging, sensing and catalysis. In addition to relative block lengths, molecular weights and solution conditions, chain architectures of block copolymers can also dramatically affect their self-assembling properties in selective solvents. This feature article mainly focuses on recent developments in the field of supramolecular self-assembly of amphiphilic and double hydrophilic block copolymers (DHBCs) possessing nonlinear chain topologies, including miktoarm star polymers, dendritic-linear block copolymers, cyclic block copolymers and comb-shaped copolymer brushes.
在过去几十年里，由于在药物递送、成像、传感和催化等方面具有多样的生物学和技术应用，嵌段共聚物在水溶液中的超分子自组装受到了越来越多的关注。除了相对的嵌段长度、分子量和溶液条件外，嵌段共聚物的链结构也会显著影响其在选择性溶剂中的自组装性能。这篇专题文章主要关注具有非线性链拓扑结构的两亲性和双亲水性嵌段共聚物（DHBCs）超分子自组装领域的最新进展，包括多臂星形聚合物、树枝状-线性嵌段共聚物、环状嵌段共聚物和梳状共聚物刷。
