There have been relatively few reports dealing with double-crystalline diblock copolymers [102-110,197-200]. The particular case of ABC triblock copolymers with two semicrystalline blocks will be presented in a separate section. Works pertaining to one of the most studied systems PCL-fo-PEO have already been previously reviewed [43]. Recently, probably the most comprehensive studies on double-crystalline diblock copolymer systems were performed on poly(p-dioxanone)-fc-PCL diblock copolymers, PPDX-fr-PCL, and therefore several important aspects of these works [102,103,107] will be summarized in this section.
