Porous polymer and copolymer membranes are useful for ultrafiltration of functional
macromolecules, colloids, and water purification. In particular, block copolymer membranes …

Grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing incidence small angle
neutron scattering (GISANS) have developed as advanced thin film characterization …

Block copolymer (BCP) thin films have been proposed for a number of nanotechnology
applications, such as nanolithography and as nanotemplates, nanoporous membranes and …

We propose a mean-field theory and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations of
swelling and collapse of a polymer microgel adsorbed at the interface of two immiscible …

Dissipative particle dynamics was applied to simulate solvent vapor annealing in films of
cylinder-forming diblock copolymers. Our simulations reveal a wide range of conditions …

We report on the behavior of two immiscible liquids within polymer microgel adsorbed at
their interface. By means of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations and theoretical …

Solvent vapor annealing is as an effective and versatile alternative to thermal annealing to
equilibrate and control the assembly of polymer chains in thin films. Here, we present …

Amphiphilic arborescent block copolymers of two generations (G2 and G3) and polymer
microgels, obtained via cross-linking of diblock copolymers, were studied in a selective …

We perform comparative studies of self-assembly of equivalent statistical, diblock and
gradient AB copolymers in a selective solvent using dissipative particle dynamics …

As synthetic membrane materials, polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have
demonstrated unprecedented permeation and molecular-separation properties. Here, we …
