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 …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

Block polymers have undergone extraordinary evolution since their inception more than 60
years ago, maturing from simple surfactants to an expansive class of macromolecules …

Herein we present a solid electrolyte that adheres to the lithium surface and resists dendrite
growth, both of which are needed for the development of high specific energy rechargeable …

The phase behavior of ten polyisoprene-polystyrene (PI-PS) diblock copolymers, spanning
the composition range from 0.24 to 0.82 polyisoprene volume fraction (/pi), has been studied …

Recently, a new spotlight has been focused on block copolymers, thoroughly studied for
nearly half a century, because of their potential use in numerous nanotechnologies. This …

Amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs) are important in interface and particle stabilization.
Following consideration of the various methods of synthesis of ABCs, mesophases and …
