We investigate the formation of polymer vesicles, or polymersomes, of polystyrene-block-
poly (ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers using double emulsion droplets of controlled …

Abstract Using Monte Carlo simulations and self-consistent field (SCF) theory we study the
surface and interface properties of a coarse grained off-lattice model. In the simulations we …

It has been long recognized that surface properties are of paramount importance for a broad
range of materials and a large variety of devices. The recent development of nanoscience …

This article summarizes our investigations of tethered chain systems using Langmuir
monolayers of poly (dimethylsiloxane)‐polystyrene (PDMS‐PS) diblock copolymers on …

Some of the recent advances that have been made by chemical engineers in the field of
statistical mechanics, as well as some of the new products and processes that have resulted …

The stability of polystyrene (PS) films on silicon oxide is improved by blending with poly
(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate)(PS-b-PMMA) having a short, adsorbing MMA block and …

The influence of surface-active fluorocarbon-terminated poly (styrene)(PS− F) additives on
the dewetting dynamics of thin melt films of poly (styrene)(PS) deposited onto poly (methyl …

Surface and interface play an important role in controlling the properties of a broad range of
materials. With the recent development of various advanced surface analytical techniques …

We present experimental results on the instability of thin liquid polydimethylsiloxane films
intercalated between a solid substrate and a liquid surrounding medium. The instability is …

We investigate the wetting behaviour of short chains on a surface covered with a brush of
end-grafted chains of the same architecture by a combination of self-consistent field …
