Tethered polymer chains refers to macromolecular chains that are attached into
microstructures by their ends. Highly branched polymers, polymer micelles and end-grafted …

The developments in membranes based on tailored block copolymers are reported with an
emphasis on isoporous membranes. These membranes can be prepared in different …

Different polymers can be combined into a single material in many ways, which can lead to a
wide range of phase behaviors that directly influence the associated physical properties and …

A mean-field phase diagram for conformationally symmetric diblock melts using the standard
Gaussian polymer model is presented. Our calculation, which traverses the weak-to strong …

Conclusions There are many examples in which two analytical techniques have been
combined in order to acquire in-formation both on molecular-size distribution and on …

Nanoporous polystyrene monoliths were prepared from polystyrene− polylactide (PS− PLA)
block copolymers that form hexagonally packed nanocylinders of PLA in a PS matrix. A …

Provided the right hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance can be achieved, amphiphilic block
copolymers are able to assemble in water into membranes. These membranes can enclose …

Analyte-sensitive hydrogels that incorporate optical structures have emerged as sensing
platforms for point-of-care diagnostics. The optical properties of the hydrogel sensors can be …

The thermodynamic and dynamic properties of a partially deuterated poly (ethylene‐
propylene)–poly (ethylethylene)(PEP–PEE) diblock copolymer containing 55% by volume …

Amphiphilic block copolyethers assemble into membranes with thickness between 2.4 and
7.5 nm. The vesicular morphology has been confirmed by small-angle X-ray scattering …
