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 …

Soft materials with nanostructures, such as Frank-Kasper (FK) and related spherical phases,
have garnered significant interest in recent years. However, there is still a lack of rational …

The quasiperiodic structures in metal alloys have been known to depend on the existence of
icosahedral order in the melt. Among different phases observed in intermetallics, decagonal …

Molecular shape is an essential parameter that regulates the self-organization and
recognition process, which has not yet been well appreciated and exploited in block …

Over the past decade, a wealth of complexity has been reported in the packing of
compositionally asymmetric, particle-forming diblock copolymer melts, beginning with the …

We show that a full spectrum of Frank–Kasper (FK) phase and dodecagonal quasicrystal
(DDQC) having been discovered among different block copolymers (BCPs) can be …

Block copolymers (BCPs) self-assembled into 3D network phases are promising for
designing useful materials with multiple properties that rely on domain continuity. However …

In the realm of soft matter, the self-assembly of giant molecules into predefined spherical
packing superlattices offers a promising avenue for creating materials with specific …

Recently, the interest in charged polymers has been rapidly growing due to their uses in
energy storage and transfer devices. Yet, polymer electrolyte-based devices are not on the …

Spherical supramolecular dendrimers including helical, self-organize soft Frank–Kasper,
other cubic such as body-centered cubic, and quasicrystal periodic and quasiperiodic …
