Fast, high-resolution, non-destructive and quantitative characterization methods are needed
to develop materials with tailored properties at the nanoscale or to understand the …

Self-assembly of soft materials is broadly considered an attractive means of generating
nanoscale structures and patterns over large areas. However, the spontaneous formation of …

This Perspective provides a critical analysis of the current knowledge concerning solvent
vapor annealing (SVA) of block polymer thin films. Herein, we identify key challenges that …

Block copolymers are known for their intricate morphology. We review the state of the art of
block copolymer membranes and discuss perspectives in this field. The main focus is on …

Block copolymers self-assemble on nanometer length scales, making them ideal for
emerging nanotechnologies. Many applications (eg, templating, membranes) require the …

The ordering of block copolymers in thin films is reviewed, starting from the fundamental
principles and extending to recent promising developments as templates for …

Block copolymers have garnered significant attention in the past few decades due to their
ability to self-assemble into nanoscale structures (∼ 10–100 nm), making them ideal for …

Recent innovations in the area of micro-and nanofabrication have created a unique
opportunity for patterning surfaces with features with lateral dimensions spanning over the …
