Peptide self-assembly provides an innovative strategy for not only establishing an ideal
research model to understand life phenomena but also for constructing sophisticated …

This Review describes recent progress in the self-assembly of organic/inorganic POSS
hybrids derived from mono-, di-, and multi-functionalized POSS cages. We highlight the self …

The discovery of the Frank–Kasper σ phase in diblock copolymer and tetrablock terpolymer
melts catalyzed a renewed interest over the past decade in understanding particle-forming …

Soft building blocks, such as micelles, cells or soap bubbles, tend to adopt near-spherical
geometry when densely packed together. As a result, their packing structures do not extend …

This work describes the first rigorous example of a single-component block copolymer
system forming unconventional spherical phases. A library of discrete block polymers with …

Macromolecular self-assembly has made explosive development in the last several
decades, are being extensively explored in the fields of drug delivery, lithography, catalysis …

A renewed focus on the phase behavior of nominally single-component, compositionally
asymmetric diblock copolymers has revealed a host of previously unanticipated Frank …

Molecular shape is an essential parameter that regulates the self-organization and
recognition process, which has not yet been well appreciated and exploited in block …

The formation and relative stability of spherical packing phases in binary blends composed
of AB-diblock copolymers and A-homopolymers are systematically studied using the self …

The observation of complex, Frank-Kasper (FK) particle packings in diblock polymer melts
has until recently been limited to low molecular weight, conformationally asymmetric …
