Co-existing morphologies of lamellae and double arrays of cylinders by A1BA2C tetrablock terpolymer
Giant, 2023 Here, we observed, via small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy, co-existing morphologies of lamellae and cylinders by precisely tailoring the volume fraction of each block in polystyrene-b-polyisoprene-b-polystyrene-b-poly(2 ...

Core-shell structures in single flexible-semiflexible block copolymers: Finding the free energy minimum for the folding transition [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate the folding transition of a single diblock copolymer consisting of a semiflexible and a flexible block. We obtain a {\it Saturn-shaped} core-shell conformation in the folded state, in which the flexible block forms a core and the ...

Transient Optical Characterisation of Donor-Acceptor Block Copolymers for Use in Solar Cells [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis presents a study of photo-active, semiconducting block copolymers for use in molecular solar cells. Current state-of-the-art organic devices utilise blends of two (or more) materials that are co-deposited from a common solution; the resulting
