Block copolymer (BCP) represents a special type of polymeric system where each of the
polymer chains is composed of two or more chemically distinct homopolymer blocks that are …

Block-copolymers self-assemble into diverse morphologies, where nanoscale order can be
finely tuned via block architecture and processing conditions. However, the ultimate usage …

The self-assembly of block copolymers to generate nanopatterns is of great interest as an
inexpensive approach to sub-20 nm lithography. Compared to thermal annealing, solvent …

Directed self‐assembly of block copolymers is a key enabler for nanofabrication of devices
with sub‐10 nm feature sizes, allowing patterning far below the resolution limit of …

Polymeric materials, used predominantly in their bulk form, are now finding increasing
application as thin films or where the end-use dimensions are approaching the size of the …

Thin films of block copolymers are extremely attractive for nanofabrication because of their
ability to form uniform and periodic nanoscale structures by microphase separation. One …

Block copolymers are a well-studied and canonical self-assembly paradigm. Despite active
research, new methods are continually emerging that allow the formation of yet more diverse …

Block copolymer (BCP) thin films have been proposed for a number of nanotechnology
applications, such as nanolithography and as nanotemplates, nanoporous membranes and …

Real-time grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) experiments were used
to study the self-assembly of cylinder-forming block copolymers (BCPs) in thin films during …

Solvent-assisted block copolymer self-assembly is a compelling method for processing and
advancing practical applications of these materials due to the exceptional level of the control …
