Nanoscale compositional heterogeneity in block copolymers can impart synergistic property
combinations, such as stiffness and toughness. However, until now, there has been no …

While block copolymer lithography has been broadly applied as a bottom-up patterning
technique, only a few nanopattern symmetries, such as hexagonally packed dots or parallel …

Sphere-patterned ultrathin block copolymer films are potentially interesting for a variety of
applications in nanotechnology. We use self-consistent field theory to investigate the elastic …

Thin films of cylinder-forming polystyrene–poly (n-hexyl methacrylate) diblock copolymers,
PS–PHMA, are attractive as nanolithographic templates, an application which demands …

At present, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies of perfluorinated sulfonic-acid
ionomers (PFSAs) are unable to fully determine the true shape of their building blocks, as …

Application of shear stress at the surface of a block copolymer thin film has been shown to
substantially orient the microdomains in the direction of the applied shear. The present work …

We have studied the phase behaviors of sphere-forming triblock copolymers in confined
spaces using the mean-field dynamic density functional theory. The focus is on the …

Block copolymers have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to self-assemble
into highly regular structures, spanning length scales from several nanometers to over 100 …

The phase separation and surface characteristics of poly (propyl methacrylate-b-methyl
methacrylate)(PPrMA-b-PMMA) diblock copolymers were studied and compared to strongly …
