Recent progress in polymerization‐induced self‐assembly: From the perspective of driving forces
Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) enables the simultaneous growth and self‐assembly of block copolymers in one pot and therefore has developed into a high‐efficiency platform for the preparation of polymer assemblies with high concentration and

Uni-directional polymerization leading to homochirality in the RNA world [PDF]
The differences between uni-directional and bi-directional polymerization are considered. The uni-directional case is discussed in the framework of the RNA world. Similar to earlier models of this type, where polymerization was assumed to proceed in a bi-

Modeling morphology evolution during solvent-based fabrication of organic solar cells [PDF]
Solvent-based techniques usually involve preparing dilute blends of electron-donor and electron-acceptor materials dissolved in a volatile solvent. After some form of coating onto a substrate, the solvent evaporates.

One-step volumetric additive manufacturing of complex polymer structures. [PDF]
Two limitations of additive manufacturing methods that arise from layer-based fabrication are slow speed and geometric constraints (which include poor surface quality). Both limitations are overcome in the work reported here, introducing a new volumetric
