In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly
(PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various …

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

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) combine the features of vulcanized thermoset rubbers and

In this Perspective, we discuss the recent development of polymerization-induced self-
assembly mediated by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous …

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 …

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have found use in a wide range of applications, such as

The discovery of the Frank–Kasper σ phase in diblock copolymer and tetrablock terpolymer
melts catalyzed a renewed interest over the past decade in understanding particle-forming …

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 …

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 …
