Mechanical properties of materials have long been one of the most fundamental and studied
areas of materials science for a myriad of applications. Recently, mechanical metamaterials …

Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures
without human intervention. Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and …

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 …

Porous carbon materials are of interest in many applications because of their high surface
area and physicochemical properties. Conventional syntheses can only produce randomly …

Self-assembly is a process in which components, either separate or linked, spontaneously
form ordered aggregates. Self-assembly can occur with components having sizes from the …

Parallel processes for patterning densely packed nanometre-scale structures are critical for
many diverse areas of nanotechnology. Thin films of diblock copolymers,,,,,,,,,, can self …

The history of human civilization is accompanied by the development of novel materials,
from the period of natural stone, the bronze and iron age, to the modern times of synthetic …

Block copolymers (BCPs) have received great attention for the past 40 years but only within
the past decade have they been seriously considered for nanotechnological applications …

Brush-like macromolecules are unique polymer molecules whose conformation and
physical properties are controlled by steric repulsion of densely grafted side chains …
