Recently the crystallization-driven self-assembly of block copolymers into semicrystalline micelles in the selective solvent has been paid increasing attention due to the good controllability. In this paper we first review some factors controlling the morphology and size of the semicrystalline micelles of block copolymers, including solvent quality, structure of block copolymers, and crystallization temperature. The living growth of semicrystalline micelles with time and formation of "block co-micelles" using micelles as building blocks are also introduced. Finally, currently existing problems and outlook in this field are discussed.
