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 …

We review theories and experiments on the effects of shear in fluids undergoing phase
transitions. We put emphasis on near-critical fluids and polymer solutions as representative …

Based on graduate lectures given by the authors, Smectic and Columnar Liquid Crystals:
Concepts and Physical Properties Illustrated by Experiments examines lamellar (smectic) …

A first-principles approach to the nonlinear flow of dense suspensions is presented which
captures shear thinning of colloidal fluids and dynamical yielding of colloidal glasses. The …

Two distinct lamellae orientaitons have been identified by small-angle neutron scattering
(SANS) in dynamically sheared poly (ethylene-propylene)-poly (ethylethylene)(PEP-PEE) …

In contrast to other types of segmented multiblock thermoplastic elastomers, simple ABA
block copolymers represent a class of well-defined nanostructured materials. Due to the …

Polymeric materials undergo dramatic changes in orientational order in response to
dynamic processes, such as flow. Their rich cascade of dynamics presents opportunities to …

Alignment of lamellar block copolymer microstructure in an electric field was studied. Two
mechanisms of alignment are considered: selective electric-field-induced disordering and …

Reciprocating shear is found to increase the isotropic-to-lamellar transition temperature in a
symmetric diblock copolymer melt. The temperature at which the isotropic state becomes …
