Introducing a second component is an effective way to manipulate polymerization behavior. However, this phenomenon has rarely been observed in colloidal systems, such as polymeric nanoparticles. Here, we report the supramolecular polymerization of polymeric nanorods mediated by block copolymers. Experimental observations and simulation results illustrate that block copolymers surround the polymeric nanorods and mainly concentrate around the two ends, leaving the hydrophobic side regions exposed. These polymeric nanorods connect in a side‐by‐side manner through hydrophobic interactions to form bundles. As polymerization progresses, the block copolymers gradually deposit onto the bundles and finally assemble into helical nanopatterns on the outermost surface, which terminates the polymerization. It is anticipated that this work could offer inspiration for a general strategy of controllable supramolecular polymerization.

The United States sub-loan crisis has caused a serious worldwide financial crisis. However, during the time when lots of western financial institutions broke down, Islamic financial institutions just received tiny impacts. The unique investment philosophies of Islamic finance draws more and more people's attention. Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, which is called "the eastern Mecca", has gained the humanistic connotations and environmental advantage of Islamic culture by nature. Thus, it will be easy to establish the relationship of cultural communication and financial cooperation. To set up an Islamic financial model which suits the economic characteristics of the ethnic region will solve the problem of bottleneck on financing effectively. It may also make a contribution to avoid financial crisis, increase the vitality of substantial economic, combine Islamism to modern financial system, as well as prompt the economical stable development.
