Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

X-ray scattering is a structural characterization tool that has impacted diverse fields of study.
It is unique in its ability to examine materials in real time and under realistic sample …

Soft building blocks, such as micelles, cells or soap bubbles, tend to adopt near-spherical
geometry when densely packed together. As a result, their packing structures do not extend …

Small-angle x-ray scattering experiments conducted with compositionally asymmetric low
molar mass poly (isoprene)-b-poly (lactide) diblock copolymers reveal an extraordinary …

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

Cement‐based sensors (CBSs) have demonstrated potential in structural health monitoring
(SHM) despite rare applications due to their poor flexibility and sensing accuracy/protection …

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 …

Frank–Kasper (FK) and quasicrystal phases were originally identified in metal alloys and
only sporadically reported in soft materials. These unconventional sphere-packing schemes …

The assembly of uniform nanocrystal building blocks into well ordered superstructures is a
