With blazing speed and seemingly limitless digital memory, the personal computers of the early 1990s rocketed past those that ranked as state-of-the-art just a couple of years earlier. Within a few ...

A combination of self-assembly and jet printing can be used to create block copolymer films with complex structures and tunable periodicities across a large substrate. Block copolymer nanolithography ...

Polymeric micelles are representative self-assembly structures of block copolymers and have widely been investigated from both fundamental and applied aspects. In 1995, we discovered polyion complex ...

But the most impressive trait of a block copolymer is its ability to self-assemble. Imagine, for example, dropping a mixture of poly (isoprene) and poly (styrene) on the floor. The two incompatible ...
