Polymers and polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are extensively used in daily life. However,
the growing requirement of advanced PNCs laid persistent environmental issues due to …

Block copolymers (BCPs) self‐assembly has continually attracted interest as a means to
provide bottom‐up control over nanostructures. While various methods have been …

Here, we report synergistic nanostructured surfaces combining bactericidal and bacteria-
releasing properties. A polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS-block-PMMA) …

Organic–inorganic hybrids featuring tunable material properties can be readily generated by
applying vapor-or liquid-phase infiltration (VPI or LPI) of inorganic materials into organic …

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) with density multiplication has
been proved to be a viable technique for the fabrication of FinFET at the 7 nm node. The key …

To form nanopatterns with self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs), it is desirable to have
through-film domains that are oriented perpendicular to the substrate. The domain …

Polymer adhesion with inorganic materials is a key technology for realizing the
diversification of materials. When a polymer contacts with inorganic materials, a layer …

The interfacial strength of polystyrene (PS) with and without PS oligomers in contact with a
glass substrate was examined to determine the relationship between the interfacial …

A better understanding of the dynamic behavior of polymer chains on solid surfaces is
indispensable for the design and construction of high-performance polymer composites. We …

External fields are often present when polymers contact solids, potentially affecting chain
adsorption onto a substrate. The adsorbed chains, which are difficult to relax thermally …
