Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

The nanometer-scale architectures in thin films of self-assembling block copolymers have
inspired a variety of new applications. For example, the uniformly sized and shaped …

Block polymers incorporating highly incompatible segments are termed “high χ” polymers,
where χ is the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter. These materials have attracted a great …

Graphene has significant potential for application in electronics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but cannot be
