TL;DR: This perspective summarizes research on self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules such as lipids, surfactants or block copolymers that are a focus of interest for many colloid, polymer, and materials scientists and which have become increasingly important in emerging nanotechnology and practical applications, latter of which are often accomplished by amphiphile-like polymers.

TL;DR: A review of mesoscale morphologies in polymer thin films from the viewpoint of origination of structure formation, structure development and the interaction forces that govern these morphologies is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the potential developments in various aspects of confined spaces for molecular self-assembly under one roof is presented, including topological, geometrical, chemical and biological confinements.

TL;DR: In this article, metal-containing block copolymers with metals confined in one or more blocks are presented as candidate materials for nanomanufacturing applications due to their unprecedented nanoscale pattern transfer capabilities.

TL;DR: This study is aimed at deciphering the nanostructure-property relationships of ultrathin palladium films used as hydrogen gas sensors and finds that the crossover in these films is observed at a thickness of approximately 5 nm.
