Strategies for the utilization of phase separation to generate ordered pattern in polymer thin
film are reviewed. First, the fundamental theory and factors influencing phase separation in …

A broad range of polymeric materials can be formed into nanotubes by means of
nanoporous hardtemplates containing arrays of aligned, cylindrical nanopores. Functional …

The orientation of liquid crystal molecules is very sensitive towards contacting surfaces, and
this phenomenon is critical during the fabrication of liquid crystal display panels, as well as …

Physical entities with inherent randomness have been investigated as anti‐counterfeiting
labels based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs). Herein, a transparent and flexible …

High solid and high stability waterborne polyurethanes were molecularly designed and
synthesized. The positions and concentrations of the anionic groups were varied, along with …

The glass‐transition temperatures (Tg's) of nanocomposites of polystyrene (PS) and single‐
walled carbon nanotubes were measured in the bulk and in thin films with differential …

Biomaterial surface characteristics are critical cues that regulate cell function. We produced
a novel series of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) and polystyrene demixed nanotopographic films …

This review article describes progress made in scanning force microscopy of polymers
during the last 5 years including fundamental principles of SFM and recent developments in …

Spin-coated blend films with complex phase-separated morphology find broad applications
while precise tailoring of the morphology is still challenging. In this study, graphene oxide …

An orientational change from homeotropic to planar of liquid crystal (LC) mesogens and the
microphase separation (MPS) domains is attained by the segregated skin layer at the free …
