摘要
The synthesis of linear and non-linear (star, cyclic) triblock terpolymers through living, controlled/living polymerization methods and their combinations are reviewed. The theoretical predictions and the experimental results concerning the self-assembly of these materials in selective solvents and in bulk are also discussed. A plethora of self-assembled structures have been detected either in solution or in bulk, potentially leading to a rich variety of high-tech applications. First results regarding the synthesis and morphology of multicomponent multiblock (tetrablock quarter and pentablock quinto) polymers are also given.
