Symmetric shapes and patterns are fascinating and preferred by humans as symmetric
stimuli of any kind are more easily processed by the visual systems than their asymmetric …

Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

This Perspective provides a current survey on the synthesis, self-assembly, and vast variety
of applications possible from block copolymer (BCP) systems containing at least one …

We present a novel, versatile, and simple solution-based routine to produce soft, nanosized
Janus particles with tunable structural and physical properties at high volume yield. This …

Polymeric micelles constitute an important class of nanomaterials that are highly attractive
for pharmaceutical applications. The hydrophobic core of the micelles can be loaded with …

Nature regulates complex structures in space and time via feedback loops, kinetically
controlled transformations, and under energy dissipation to allow non-equilibrium …

We present in-depth studies of the size tunability and the self-assembly behavior of Janus
cylinders possessing a phase segregation into two hemicylinders. The cylinders are …

We have found that the width and shape (from rectangular to elliptical, to almost circular in
cross-section) of the crystalline core of fiberlike micelles of polyferrocenyldimethylsilane …

Flexible, semitransparent ionic liquid gel (ionogels) film was first fabricated by in situ
polymerization. The optimized ionogels exhibited excellent mechanical properties, high …

Polymerization-induced self-assembly and re-organization (PISR) was used to prepare
polymeric nanostructured materials with a variety of morphologies. Reversible addition …
