A block copolymer is a type of copolymer where distinct blocks of different monomers are linked together. For example, a block copolymer could consist of a block of monomer A linked to a block of monomer B. These polymers exhibit unique properties due to the phase separation of the different blocks, leading to applications in areas like adhesives, thermoplastic elastomers, and drug delivery.

嵌段共聚物是一种共聚物，其中不同单体的不同嵌段连接在一起。例如，嵌段共聚物可以由连接到单体 B 嵌段的单体 A 嵌段组成。由于不同嵌段的相分离，这些聚合物表现出独特的性能，从而应用于粘合剂、热塑性弹性体和药物输送等领域。
