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 …

Block copolymers self-assemble on nanometer length scales, making them ideal for
emerging nanotechnologies. Many applications (eg, templating, membranes) require the …

Polymer brushes have become a significant focus of polymer research with the need for
straightforward and versatile surface modification. With the development of controlled radical …

Block copolymers (BCPs) must necessarily have high interaction parameters (χ), a
fundamental measure of block incompatibility, to self-assemble into sub–10-nanometer …

The ordering of block copolymers in thin films is reviewed, starting from the fundamental
principles and extending to recent promising developments as templates for …

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) on lithographically defined
chemically nanopatterned surfaces (or chemical patterns) combines advantages of …

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of the domain structure in block copolymer (BCP) thin films is
a promising approach for sub-10-nm surface patterning. DSA requires the control of …

We herein report a new facile strategy to ellipsoidal block copolymer nanoparticles that
exhibit a pH‐triggered anistropic swelling profile. In a first step, elongated particles with an …

This report describes the design and synthesis of a series of lamella‐forming, silicon‐
containing block copolymers (Si‐BCPs) and evaluation of these materials as potential …

This review article discusses the origins of self-assembly behavior of linear and non-linear
block co-and terpolymers and their application towards the fabrication of high-resolution …
