The history of human civilization is accompanied by the development of novel materials,
from the period of natural stone, the bronze and iron age, to the modern times of synthetic …

The generation of nano-microstructured polymer film surfaces has been a challenge during
the last decades. Advances in the fabrication of structured polymer surfaces to obtain micro …

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) …

▪ Abstract A two-part review of research concerning block copolymer thin films is presented.
The first section summarizes experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental …

The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) in the presence of crystallization as the
second driving force is reviewed, for BCPs in the bulk, thin films, single crystals and micelles …

The ordering of block copolymers in thin films is reviewed, starting from the fundamental
principles and extending to recent promising developments as templates for …

Recent innovations in the area of micro-and nanofabrication have created a unique
opportunity for patterning surfaces with features with lateral dimensions spanning over the …

Herein we establish a relationship between controlled nanoscale surface interactions and
subsequent macromolecular ordering. Striped surfaces of oxide and metal are generated …
