Trapping Structural Coloration by a Bioinspired Gyroid Microstructure in Solid State.
TL;DR: TOSC facilitates the fabrication of the human-made solid gyroid photonic crystal featuring tunable and switchable structural coloration without the synthesis to alter the molecular weight, and appears to be applicable in the fields of optical communication, energy, light-emission, sensors, and displays.

Micro-phase separation in two dimensional suspensions of self-propelled spheres and dumbbells
TL;DR: This work uses numerical simulations to study the phase behavior of self-propelled spherical and dumbbellar particles interacting via micro-phase separation inducing potentials and indicates that under the appropriate conditions, it is possible to drive the formation of two new active states; a spinning cluster crystal and a fluid of living clusters.

Functionalized Nanoporous Thin Films From Photocleavable Block Copolymers
TL;DR: A polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer bearing a photocleavable junction between the blocks is used to form nanoporous thin films with carboxylic acid functions homogeneously distributed on the pore walls, and fluorescent patterns can be obtained as evidenced by fluorescent microscopy.

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.
