Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly has attracted considerable attention for many decades because it can yield ordered structures in a wide range of morphologies, including spheres, cylinders, bicontinuous structures, lamellae, vesicles, and many other complex or hierarchical assemblies. These aggregates provide potential or practical applications in many fields. The present tutorial review introduces the primary principles of BCP self-assembly in bulk and in solution, by describing experiments, theories, accessible morphologies and morphological transitions, factors affecting the morphology, thermodynamics and kinetics, among others. As one specific example at a more advanced level, BCP vesicles (polymersomes) and their potential applications are discussed in some detail.
嵌段共聚物（BCP）自组装在几十年中引起了相当大的关注，因为它可以在广泛的形态中产生有序结构，包括球体、圆柱、双连续结构、层状、囊泡和许多其他复杂或分层组装。这些聚集体在许多领域提供了潜在或实际的应用。本教程综述通过描述实验、理论、可及形态和形态转变、影响形态的因素、热力学和动力学等，介绍了本体和溶液中 BCP 自组装的主要原理。作为一个更高级别的具体例子，详细讨论了 BCP 囊泡（聚合物囊泡）及其潜在应用。
