Confinement effects on the miscibility of block copolymer blends
TL;DR: A semi-analytical calculation for the coexistence of thick and thin monolayers that helps explain the complicated interplay between miscibility and commensurability is developed.

Copoly(arylene phthalides) in the thermal polymerization of styrene
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal polymerization of styrene in the presence of polymer initiators, copoly(arylene phthalides) of the diphenyl oxide series with different ratios of two adjacent (head-to-head) and single (headto-tail) phthalide groups, was studied.

Ordered mesoporous molecular sieves synthesized by a liquid-crystal template mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous inorganic solids from calcination of aluminosilicate gels in the presence of surfactants is described, in which the silicate material forms inorganic walls between ordered surfactant micelles.

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.
