tPolymer single crystals and correlated crystalline structures are reviewed by emphasizing the last10–20 years of research on fundamental concepts, single crystal engineering, and applications. The reviewcommences with basic work comprising morphologies, theories, and especial single crystals, subse-quently passes to star block, brush-covered, well-oriented, patterned, epitaxial, non-flat and degradablesingle crystals, and eventually reviews single crystals and nano-particles/structures including magneti-cally recyclable catalyst supports, nano-hybrid shish-kebabs to mimic the natural bone nanostructures,and nano/micromotors. Other applications are also presented and discussed in detail, including exploit-ing conductive single crystals of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)in field-effect transistors, nanowires and microwires, as well as fostering amino-functionalized lamellarpoly(L-lactide) single crystals as a delivery system for human papillomaviruses-associated tumors.
