Metal-containing block copolymers (BCPs) offer fascinating opportunities for the development of self-assembled functional nanomaterials.1,2 In this talk recent developments concerning the use of polyferrocenylsilane (PFS) BCPs  as phase-separated thin films and as self-assembled nanoparticles will be described.3-6Collaborations: Caroline Ross (MIT), Rick Register (Princeton). Mitch Winnik (Toronto), and Rob Richardson, and Charl Faul (Bristol). 1. Schacher, F. H., Rupar, P., Manners, I. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012 , 51,  7898.2. Whittell, G. R.; Hager, M. D.; Schubert, U.
