In this paper, the main factors which may influence the micelle morphology and behavior of amphiphilic block copolymers in selective solvents are reviewed. These factors mainly include the solution temperature, the type of selective solvents, the lengths of blocks, the crystalline block, the hydrogen-bond interaction between the blocks and the solvent as well as the concentration of the block copolymers. The experimental methods for controlling the micelle morphology of amphiphilic block copolymers in selective solvents are then summarized. The recent advances in the micellar behaviors of a special type of amphiphilic block copolymers in selective solvents, which are capable to response to the external stimuli such as the environmental temperature and pH value, were also presented. Finally, the existing problems and future possible development directions of this research field are discussed.
