Star block copolymers with inner thermoresponsive segments connected to their core were synthesized by the RAFT polymerization of VEI-Br, using poly (NIPAAm) stars.

Diblock Copolymers: Diblock copolymers consist of two distinct polymer blocks and are the most commonly used type in block copolymer lithography. Examples include polystyrene-block-poly (methyl ...

Examples of nanoscale patterning from directed self-assembly of block copolymers are numerous. But the method is not yet used to make commercial products.

In this report, we demonstrate the rapid self-assembly of brush block copolymers to nanostructures with photonic bandgaps spanning the entire visible spectrum, from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared ...
