Block copolymers (BCPs) have received great attention for the past 40 years but only within
the past decade have they been seriously considered for nanotechnological applications …

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 …

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

In a physically confined environment, interfacial interactions, symmetry breaking, structural
frustration and confinement-induced entropy loss can play dominant roles in determining …

We present a self-consistent field theory model for the self-assembly behavior of rod–coil
block copolymers. The orientational interactions between the rods were modeled through a …

This review article is addressed to a broad community of polymer scientists. We outline and
analyse the fundamentals of the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method from …

Self-assembly provides the ability to create well-controlled nanostructures with electronic or
chemical functionality and enables the synthesis of a wide range of useful devices. Diblock …

Self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers under spherical confinement is
studied using real-space self-consistent field theory calculations (SCFT). Various …

The self-assembly of asymmetric diblock copolymers confined within cylindrical pores is
studied using the self-consistent-field theory. The cylinder-forming asymmetric diblock …

We have used lattice Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the molecular assembly of
symmetric diblock copolymer melts within cylindrical nanochannels. We studied the effect …
