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 …

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

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 …

Nanomanufacturing, the commercially scalable and economically sustainable mass
production of nanoscale materials and devices, represents the tangible outcome of the …

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

This feature article describes the progress realized over the past half century in the field of
surface-bound gradient structures created on or from soft materials (oligomers and/or …

This article will provide an overview of state-of-the-art combinatorial/high-throughput

We present a condensed overview of the recent developments of novel responsive thin
polymer films from end-tethered chains (polymer brushes), which are different from …

From embryonic development to wound repair, concentration gradients of bioactive
signaling molecules guide tissue formation and regeneration. Moreover, gradients in cellular …

Thickness is a governing factor in the behavior of films and coatings. To enable the high-
throughput analysis of this parameter in polymer systems, we detail the design and …
