Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft
materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a …

Block-copolymers self-assemble into diverse morphologies, where nanoscale order can be
finely tuned via block architecture and processing conditions. However, the ultimate usage …

Despite the versatility of synthetic chemistry, certain combinations of mechanical softness,
strength, and toughness can be difficult to achieve in a single material. These combinations …

Block polymers incorporating highly incompatible segments are termed “high χ” polymers,
where χ is the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter. These materials have attracted a great …

Most of the theoretical and computational descriptions of the phase behavior of block
copolymers describe the chain ensembles of perfect and uniform polymers. In contrast …

For ultrahigh-density storage media and D-RAM, the feature size of lithography should be
much reduced (say less than 10 nm). Though some research groups reported feature size of …

The directed self-assembly (DSA) and pattern transfer of poly (5-vinyl-1, 3-benzodioxole-
block-pentamethyldisilylstyrene)(PVBD-b-PDSS) is reported. Lamellae-forming PVBD-b …

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 …

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most often used controlled radical
polymerization techniques. It employs very small amounts (ppm) of Cu complexes in the …

The effect of dispersity on block polymer self-assembly was studied in the monodisperse
limit using a combination of synthetic chemistry, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization …
