Triply periodic minimal surface structures and related geometries are widely identified in
many natural systems, such as biological membranes and biophotonic structures in butterfly …

Research on block copolymers (BCPs) has played a critical role in the development of
polymer chemistry, with numerous pivotal contributions that have advanced our ability to …

Block polymers have undergone extraordinary evolution since their inception more than 60
years ago, maturing from simple surfactants to an expansive class of macromolecules …

Mechanical metamaterials can be defined as a class of architected materials that exhibit
unprecedented mechanical properties derived from designed artificial architectures rather …

Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly has attracted considerable attention for many
decades because it can yield ordered structures in a wide range of morphologies, including …

Advances in synthetic polymer chemistry have unleashed seemingly unlimited strategies for
producing block polymers with arbitrary numbers (n) and types (k) of unique sequences of …

We critically review dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) as a mesoscopic simulation method.
We have established useful parameter ranges for simulations, and have made a link …

B lock copolymers are all around us, found in such products as upholstery foam, adhesive
tape and asphalt additives. This class of macromolecules is produced by joining two or more …

Porous polymer and copolymer membranes are useful for ultrafiltration of functional
macromolecules, colloids, and water purification. In particular, block copolymer membranes …

A mean-field phase diagram for conformationally symmetric diblock melts using the standard
Gaussian polymer model is presented. Our calculation, which traverses the weak-to strong …
