In this study, the synthesis and supramolecular self-assembly of a novel rod triblock copolymer architecture with the general structure A-NHCO-B-CONH-A were carried out. The new quinoline-styrene-quinoline (QSQ) triblock copolymers were found to spontaneously form robust microcapsules or spherical vesicles in solution. The supramolecular morphology was revealed by polarized optical, fluorescence optical, and scanning electron microscopies.
