Abstract
Creation of diverse ordered nanostructures via self-assembly of macromolecules is a promising “bottom-up” approach towards next-generation nanofabrication technologies. It is therefore of critical importance to explore the possibilities to form new self-assembled phases in soft matter systems. In this review, we summarized recent advances on the identification of several unconventional spherical phases in the self-assembly of functional macromolecules, including Frank-Kasper (F-K) phases and quasicrystals originally observed in metal alloys. We believe that these results provide a new strategy towards the rational design of novel functional materials with hierarchically ordered structures.
