Advances in theoretical, computational and experimental materials science and engineering
offer not only the promise to accelerate the pace at which new materials are discovered, but …

The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) is a powerful approach to
fabricate complex nanostructure arrays, but finding morphologies that emerge with changes …

Block copolymers have garnered significant attention in the past few decades due to their
ability to self-assemble into nanoscale structures (∼ 10–100 nm), making them ideal for …

Lamellae-forming polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS-b-PMMA) films, with bulk
period L 0, were directed to assemble on lithographically nanopatterned surfaces. The …

Natural and man-made materials often rely on functional interfaces between inorganic and
organic compounds. Examples include skeletal tissues and biominerals, drug delivery …

Resonant soft X‐ray scattering (RSoXS) is an emerging, powerful technique to probe the
nano‐to‐mesoscale structure of polymers and other molecules. It joins together small‐angle …

In this perspective, we survey recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of block
copolymers, discuss several key materials opportunities enabled by block copolymers, and …

Chemically patterned surfaces comprised of polymer mats and brushes of well-defined
chemistry were fabricated at the length scale of 10 nm. A key concept is the integration of …

Thin films of block copolymers are widely seen as enablers for nanoscale fabrication of
