Block Copolymer Nanocontainers
Using cell dynamics computer simulation, we perform a systematic study of thin block copolymer films around a nanoparticle. Lamellar-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers are investigated with respect to different film thicknesses, particle radii, and boundary conditions at the film interfaces.

AbstractMaterials composed of well‐defined mesoscale building blocks are ubiquitous in nature, with noted ability to assemble into hierarchical structures possessing exceptional physical and mechanical properties. Fabrication of similar synthetic mesoscale structures will offer opportunities for precise conformational tuning toward advantageous bulk ...

Thermal Property and Microstructures of Poly(VAc-b-MA) and PVAc-b-Poly(MA-co-MMA) Block Copolymers and Terpolymers [PDF]
The microstructure and thermal properties of the synthesized block copolymers and terpolymers via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were studied. The mole fraction of the blocks and chain length of the PVAc-b-PMA block copolymers were estimated

Stereo block copolymers of L- and D-lactides [PDF]
Sequential diblock copolymers composed of L- and D-lactic acid residues were synthesized through a living ring-opening polymerization of L- and D-lactide initiated by aluminium tris(2-propanolate).

Transient Optical Characterisation of Donor-Acceptor Block Copolymers for Use in Solar Cells [PDF]
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
