摘要

Abstract

Mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer (MJLCP) has attracted great attention because of its rigid conformation

facile synthesis

and structural controllability. In this feature article

the self-assembly of MJLCP-based block copolymers (BCPs) is briefly reviewed

especially the nanostructures of rod-coil diblock copolymers (diBCPs)

rod-rod diBCPs

and triblock copolymers. In addition

the properties of the self-assembled BCPs are also summarized

including their applications as liquid crystalline thermoplastic elastomers and solid polymer electrolytes. The article also discusses the major challenges and future directions in the study of MJLCP-based BCPs.
