Porous carbon materials are of interest in many applications because of their high surface
area and physicochemical properties. Conventional syntheses can only produce randomly …

Block copolymers (BCPs) have received great attention for the past 40 years but only within
the past decade have they been seriously considered for nanotechnological applications …

Recently, a new spotlight has been focused on block copolymers, thoroughly studied for
nearly half a century, because of their potential use in numerous nanotechnologies. This …

A simple process of solvent evaporation is shown to produce highly ordered arrays of
cylindrical microdomains in block copolymers with long‐range lateral order (see Figure) …

Conditions of rapid processing often drive polymers to adopt nonequilibrium molecular
conformations, which, in turn, can give rise to structural, dynamical, and mechanical …

Nanostructured materials with precisely defined and water-bicontinuous 1-nm-scale pores
are highly sought after as advanced materials for next-generation nanofiltration membranes …

Controlling the orientation and lateral ordering of the block copolymer microdomains is
essential to their use as templates and scaffolds for the fabrication of nanostructured …

Process-directed self-assembly refers to processes that reproducibly trap the kinetics of
structure formation that ensues after a sudden change (“quench”) of the thermodynamic …

This study investigated the mechanical properties of ultrathin polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-
polystyrene (SBS) block copolymer films with thicknesses ranging from 20 to 600 nm using a …

The development of the morphology in asymmetric polystyrene-block-poly (4-
vinylpyridine)(PS-b-P4VP) thin films in tetrahydrofuran (THF) vapor, a selective solvent for …
