The interplay between polymer science and supramolecular chemistry leads to formation of
various supramolecular polymeric systems. Owing to the dynamic nature of noncovalent …

This Review describes recent progress in the self-assembly of organic/inorganic POSS
hybrids derived from mono-, di-, and multi-functionalized POSS cages. We highlight the self …

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 …

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 …

Frank–Kasper phases, a family of ordered structures formed from particles with spherical
motifs, are found in a host of materials, such as metal alloys, inorganic colloids and various …

Quasicrystals are intriguing structures that have long-range positional correlations but no
periodicity in real space, and typically with rotational symmetries that are 'forbidden'in …

Analyzing and understanding the structure and morphology of crystalline polymers has been
and remains to be a major challenge. Some of the issues have resisted analyses for …

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

Viral and synthetic vectors to deliver nucleic acids were key to the rapid development of
extraordinarily efficient COVID-19 vaccines. The four-component lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) …

Cooling disordered compositionally asymmetric diblock copolymers leads to the formation of
nearly spherical particles, each containing hundreds of molecules, which crystallize upon …
