Unlike natural macromolecules (eg, nucleic acids and proteins) possessing precisely
defined molar mass, chain sequence, chirality, and topology, synthetic polymers are typically …

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 …

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 …

This work demonstrates an effective and robust approach to regulate phase behaviors of a
block copolymer by programming local features into otherwise homogeneous linear chains …

Conformational asymmetry of block copolymers is a critical molecular parameter dictating
the self-assembly behaviors. This work develops an efficient approach to construct block …

Rationally introducing chain length heterogeneity, such as binary blending, is a robust
approach to regulate phase behavior of block copolymers. This work designed a library of …

The inherent statistical heterogeneities associated with chain length, composition, and
architecture of synthetic block copolymers compromise the quantitative interpretation of their …

The Frank–Kasper phase and quasicrystalline phase are an intriguing class of complex
crystalline structures, which so far are sporadically observed only in a limited number of …

Stereocomplexation critically depends on the chain length and stoichiometry of constituent
enantiomeric chains. Quantitative understanding of their independent contribution, however …

Fractal structures have attracted considerable scientific interest, and fractal geometry is an
effective tool to study the complicated structure and dynamic processes, such as dilation …
