Shape and internal morphology of polymeric particles are of great importance for their unique physical properties. Self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) in evaporative emulsion provides a simple and effective route for the preparation of anisotropic particles with controlled shape and size. Herein, we report the systematic design of shape-anisotropic BCP particles based on a theoretical model. In second part of my presentation, I will talk about the applications of these shape-controlled particles for the colorimetric sensing system. As an example, I will present the development of temperature-responsive as well as light-responsive shape-switchable BCP particles. Finally, I will present the application of these BCP particles for the development of nano-structured carbonized particles and the cathode design of fuel cells.
