Highly designable architectures of polymers endow the same polymer with different
properties. In principle, diverse architectures should enrich the self-assembly behavior of …

The Equilibrium Theory of Inhomogeneous Polymers provides an introduction to the field-
theoretic methods and computer simulation techniques that are used in the design of …

Equilibrium phase diagrams are calculated for a selection of two-component block
copolymer architectures using self-consistent field theory (SCFT). The topology of the phase …

Polymers with precisely controlled structure and function are in high demand across a
diverse array of applications spanning the life sciences and nanotechnology. One …

The self-assembly of block polymers into well-ordered nanostructures underpins their utility
across fundamental and applied polymer science, yet only a handful of equilibrium …

The stability of various spherical phases formed in conformationally asymmetric AB diblock
and architecture asymmetric AB m miktoarm block copolymers is investigated using self …

The stability of tetrahedrally close-packed (TCP) phases in block copolymer melts is
predicted by theory to depend on molecular architecture, yet no experimental studies to date …

Single molecular species can self-assemble into Frank–Kasper (FK) phases, finite
approximants of dodecagonal quasicrystals, defying intuitive notions that thermodynamic …
