Crystallization of random copolymers [PDF]
A theory of crystallization is formulated for random copolymers which crystallize with the non-crystallizable co-units incorporated into the crystalline lattice as defects. The appropriate melting point equation and other associated thermodynamic properties are derived for this model as a function of crystal thickness and comonomer concentration.

Wetting of Surface Grafted Hydrophilic‐b‐Hydrophobic Block Copolymer Brushes
The wetting properties of surface grafted diblock copolymer brushes are influenced by the thickness of the hydrophilic bottom block and the hydrophobic top block. The surface adapts in presence of water and the contact angles of the bottom block shine through. Abstract The wetting of diblock copolymer brushes by water is studied.

Experimental Studies of the Jamming Behaviour of Triblock Copolymer Solutions and Triblock Copolymer-Anionic Surfactant Mixture [PDF]
Photon correlation spectroscopy and rheological measurements are performed to investigate the microscopic dynamics and mechanical responses of aqueous solutions of triblock copolymers and aqueous mixtures of triblock copolymers and anionic surfactants.

Surface‐attached multilayer micromagnet systems are fabricated by two‐photon crosslinking. The pillar‐shaped micro actuators consist of a soft and flexible surface‐attached cell‐repellent hydrogel layer at the bottom, acting as a hinge and a cell‐adhesive hydrophobic polymer filled with magnetic nanoparticles.
