In this review, we show how Crystallization-Driven Self-Assembly(CDSA), a method originally employed for the self-assembly of blockcopolymers in solution, was extended to the synthesis of elongatedmicellar nanostructures in polymer matrices. By highlighting someof the works published by our group in this area, the conditionsto synthesize nanostructured polymers by CDSA are discussed.The knowledge of these conditions will allow developing a newgeneration of nanomaterials with tailored architecture based on agiven application.
