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 …

Self-assembling materials spontaneously form structures at length scales of interest in
nanotechnology. In the particular case of block copolymers, the thermodynamic driving …

The nanometer-scale architectures in thin films of self-assembling block copolymers have
inspired a variety of new applications. For example, the uniformly sized and shaped …

Local control of the domain orientation in diblock copolymer thin films can be obtained by
the application of electric fields on micrometer-length scales. Thin films of an asymmetric …

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