Block copolymers have emerged as a highly versatile platform for the design of nanostructured materials. By virtue of their chemically distinct segments, these polymers can self‐assemble into a wide ...

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 ...

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

All matter consists of one or more phases -- regions of space with uniform structure and physical properties. The common phases of H2O (solid, liquid and gas), also known as ice, water and steam, are ...

Liquid chromatography has become an indispensable tool in the detailed characterisation of block copolymers. This versatile technique exploits differences in chemical composition, molar mass and ...

A technical paper titled “Chemically tailored block copolymers for highly reliable sub-10-nm patterns by directed self-assembly” was published by researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo ...

(Nanowerk News) Miniaturization is one of the fundamental qualities of modern electronics and is largely responsible for the incredible increments in performance witnessed over the past decades. To ...

The scientists next investigated the lattice stability under biaxial tensile and compressive strains, where the resulting structures contained three layers of micelles to represent a body-centered ...

Sabic has announced a new collaboration with Kraton, a global producer of specialty polymers and high-value biobased products derived from pine wood pulping by-products. Sabic will deliver certified ...
