Being one of the most fascinating multi-functional materials, photoresponsive liquid
crystalline block copolymers (PLCBCs) have attracted much attention because of their light …

Control, understanding and manipulation of the morphology and nanostructure of the active
layer of bulk heterojunction solar cells are crucial for the development of polymeric solar …

Interaction between liquid‐crystalline elastic deformation and microphase separation in
liquid‐crystalline block copolymers enables them to supramolecularly assemble into …

The results of studies on thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers containing mesogenic
groups in the main chains of linear macromolecules or in pendant side-chain branches of …

Monomers containing biphenyl moieties were employed to create two sets of covalently
crosslinked polymers that displayed noncovalent interactions in their 3‐dimensional …

Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations, we study the swelling of lamellae-forming
diblock copolymer films in a nonselective solvent. Both the parallel and the perpendicular …

We show that in a hydrogen bonded LC side chain diblock copolymer with lamellar
morphology on the block copolymer level, two distinct packing mechanisms of the side chain …

A self-consistent field theory based on the wormlike chain model is implemented in the
investigation of the self-assembly behavior of bottlebrush block polymers in the formation of …

Dense planar brushes of diblock copolymers physically attached to the substrate by end
groups are studied by the dissipative particle dynamics simulation technique. We predict …

The phase behavior of binary blends of rod–coil diblock copolymers and coil or rod
homopolymers is studied by the self-consistent field theory (SCFT). The rod blocks are …
