The nanophotonic engineering of light–matter interactions has profoundly changed research
behind the design and fabrication of optical materials and devices. Metasurfaces—arrays of …

This perspective addresses the development of polymer field theory for predicting the
equilibrium phase behavior of block polymer melts. The approach is tailored to the high …

This paper improves upon a standard method of determining the Flory–Huggins χ
parameter, whereby experimental order–disorder transitions (ODTs) of symmetric diblock …

This work aims to systematically examine the topology effect on the self-assembly of block
copolymers. Compositionally, symmetric polystyrene-block-polydimethylsiloxane block …

The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) is dictated by their segregation strength, χ N,
and while there are well-developed methods for determining χ in the weak and strong …

Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) is a powerful approach for computing the phase behavior
of block polymers. We describe a fast version of the open-source Polymer Self-Consistent …

The design of safe and high-performance, nanostructured block polymer (BP) electrolytes for
lithium-ion batteries requires a thorough understanding of the key parameters that govern …

Block polymers show promise as solid-state battery electrolytes due to the optimization of
conductive and mechanical properties enabled via tuning of the block chemistry and length …

Tapered block polymers, which contain modified monomer segment distributions at the
chemical junction between homogeneous blocks, can offer improved local segmental …

We report thickness and homopolymer molar mass dependencies in thin film blends of a
compositionally symmetric 75 kg/mol lamellar polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate) …
