Block copolymers are macromolecules comprised of covalently linked segments of distinct chemical character. When the incompatibility between blocks, as quantified by the Flory–Huggins interaction ...

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the quest to create materials that are both lightweight and strong, scientists have long been inspired by the intricate structures found in nature. From the lattice-like bones ...

In this interview Professor Harald Pasch talks about The Importance of a Field-Flow Fractionation System When Characterising Polymer Self-Assemblies. For the benefit of our readers could you explain ...

HOUSTON - (Nov. 13, 2019) - A lightweight material full of holes is nearly as hard as diamond. The mere dents left by speeding bullets prove it. Researchers at Rice University's Brown School of ...

In exploring the properties and potential of a theoretical material, scientists at Rice University have developed a real structure with some very real stopping power. The team’s 3D-printed cube of ...

The method of fabricating structures and devices at the nanoscale, known as nanofabrication, has resulted in major developments in several fields, such as electronics, medicine, and materials science.
