Square patterns formed from the directed self-assembly of block copolymers
Weihua Li,Xueying Gu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of recent progress in the directed self-assembly (DSA) strategies for the fabrication of square patterns is presented. And an efficient DSA strategy using these AB-type block copolymers could be developed for fabrication of large-scale ordered square patterns in future, and will exhibit promising application prospects.

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.
