Amphiphilic block copolymers in selective solutions can self-assemble into various morphologies

such as spherical

rodlike and disklike micelles

bilayer membranes

vesicles and nanotubes. These aggregated nano-structures are of great potential in drug delivery

microelectronics and advanced material applications. Therefore

it is very important to study the phase behaviors of block copolymers and understand the formation mechanism of complex aggregated nano-structures. Due to the complexity of these aggregated nano-structures

computer simulations can be used as a powerful tool to study the phase behaviors of block copolymers. In this review

we mainly cover recent developments in the field of mesoscopic computer simulations of structure design for block copolymers. Specifically

dissipative particle dynamics simulations

self-consistent field theory dynamic density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations will be the main themes in this review.
