Lamellar single crystals of poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL)-based crystalline/liquid-crystalline block copolymer (BCP) were prepared from two methods: solution crystallization in n-hexanol, as well as addition of methanol dropwise to BCP/DMF solution. The crystalline morphologies of PCL single crystals prepared at different temperatures were investigated. It was observed that well-developed single crystals were formed in n-hexanol at high crystallization temperatures, while low crystallization temperatures favored to fabricate well-developed nanosheets in methanol/DMF. Annealing at the melting temperature of single crystals yielded the crystalline seeds and unimers in n-hexanol, while it formed spherical micelles in methanol/DMF system. As a result, the size of single crystals inn-hexanol could be tuned by addition of different ratios of unimer/seed.
