Περίληψη:	The amphiphilic copolymers in selective solvents self-associate into a variety of nano-sized structures due to differences in the physicochemical characteristics of the constituent moieties. The properties of the nanoassemblies can be influenced and modified by co-assembly thus forming hybrid nanostructures with tunable morphology and significantly altered aggregate characteristics. The polymerization-induced self-assembly is described as a facile, efficient, and reproducible strategy for preparation of families of polymeric nanoparticles having various morphologies via a one-pot process. In this chapter, the fundamental principles behind those approaches are briefly outlined. Various nanostructures, prepared from stimuli-responsive copolymers, nanoparticles of non-common morphologies, hybrid nanostructures, nanostructures, prepared via electrostatic interactions, hierarchical self-assembly, nanostructures formed on a surface are described by giving examples from the recent literature. The nanoassemblies exhibit tremendous potential for delivery of, e.g., antitumor agents, genetic material, proteins, and other biologically active substances.
