Graphoepitaxial Assembly of Symmetric Block Copolymers on Weakly Preferential Substrates
TL;DR: Self-assembly of block copolymers has emerged as a simple and robust “bottom-up” method for fabricating dense and periodic nanostructures as they microphase separate into nanoscale domains.

The influence of the preparation method of NiO x photocathodes on the efficiency of p-type dye-sensitized solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the preparation of NiO surfaces on their efficiency as photocathodes is considered. But, improvement of the quality and conductivity of the NiO-based photocathode needs to be achieved to bring further improvements to the solar cell efficiency.

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.
