Abstract
By self-organization polymers form a large number of superstructures with characteristic dimensions in the range of a few nanometers up to several micrometers. They can be used to produce in a controlled way a wide range of nano- and microstructured materials such as nanoparticles, nanoporous materials and drug carriers. Applications in the fields of materials science, electronics, molecular biology and pharmacy are being investigated.Keywords
