We demonstrate that low-molecular weight asymmetric diblock copolymer melts can form multiple metastable liquid states at a common temperature, dependent on the processing history. Formation of ...

diblock copolymer; poly(3-hexylthiophene); organic photocatalyst; biomass-based monomer; atom transfer radical polymerization 3-Hexylthiophene, (Diacetoxyiodo)benzene, 3-Bromo perylene, ...

A novel conjugated rod–coil diblock copolymer poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(furfuryl methacrylate) (P3HT-b-PFMA) has been successfully synthesized for the first time using photoinduced ...

A recently developed block copolymer could help push the limits of integration and miniaturization in semiconductor manufacturing, report scientists in Tokyo Tech and TOK. Chemically tailored for ...

A thermodynamically stable example of the notorious ‘plumber’s nightmare’ structure has been created using a diblock copolymer by adjusting the interactions of the chain ends. The stability of the ...

Abstract: The diblock copolymer chain was flexible in the simulation system. The copolymer chain adsorption on the face center cubic metal crystal surface was researched by MD simulation. The ...

Polymer electrolytes are important materials in the manufacture of all-solid-state batteries due to their ionic conductivity, achieved by doping the polymer with salt, and mechanical strength, ...

We set out to create a synthetic mimetic of lubricin by mimicking its structure and functional composition. The result is a diblock copolymer that reduces the coefficient of friction on cartilage, ...

A set of different alkyne containing diblock copolymers based on 4-hydroxystyrene was synthesized by nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMRP), all with excellent control over the molecular ...

Block-copolymer amphiphiles have been observed to assemble into vesicles and other morphologies long known for lipids but with remarkably different properties. Coarse-grain molecular dynamics (CG ...
