A Simple and Convenient Method to Fabricate Hexagonally Ordered Gold Nanoparticle Arrays Using Diblock Copolymer Micelle Template
Shigeru Watanabe,Shin Nakano,Chie Imai,Inamur Rahaman Laskar,Tomonori Komura,Shingo Hadano,Tomokazu Iyoda +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a monolayer films of hexagonally ordered diblock copolymer micelles were prepared as templates by self-assembly, and gold nanoparticles immediately self-assembled on each individual micelle upon immersion.

Self-assembly of high-resolutions PS-b-PMMA block-copolymers: processes capabilities and integration on 300mm track
Xavier Chevalier,Celia Nicolet,Raluca Tiron,Ahmed Gharbi,G. Chamiot-Maitral,Karine Jullian,P. Pimenta-Barros,Maxime Argoud,J.-L. Peyre,R. Van Spaandonk,Guillaume Fleury,G. Hadziioannou,Christophe Navarro +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the self-assembly process optimization of different high-resolution cylindrical PS-b-PMMA block-copolymers (i.e. L0 period below 25 nm) is studied to highlight processes-variations as regard to more classical PS b-PMA systems while the characterizations of bulk materials provide deeper insights on the parameters addressing the selfassembly of such materials.

Factors influencing the formation of block copolymer-based supramolecular assemblies in bulk and thin films
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of supramolecular assemblies (SMAs) by hydrogen bonding using polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and biphenyl systems containing different functionalities were investigated both in bulk as well as in thin films.

Block Copolymer Thermodynamics: Theory and Experiment
TL;DR: Block copolymers are macromolecules composed of sequences, or blocks, of chemically distinct repeat units that make possible the sequential addition of monomers to various carbanion-ter minated ("living") linear polymer chains.

Block Copolymers—Designer Soft Materials
TL;DR: The Knitting Pattern as mentioned in this paper is a block copolymer that was discovered by Reimund Stadler and his coworkers and reflects a delicate free-energy minimization that is common to all blockcopolymer materials.
