Block and star-block copolymers with stimulus-responsive components are capable of forming different assemblies under different conditions. The structural shifts shown by several systems, including responsive amphiphilic triblock copolymers and ABC mikto-arm star copolymers, under specific conditions will be discussed. Efforts made to understand the effects of polymer structure on the rate of structural transformation will also be described.
