Abstract: Self-assembly behavior of polymer grafted nanoparticles in ordered phases of geometrically confined diblock copolymers is studied using self-consistent field theory. Entropy loss and structural frustration introduced by physical confinement significantly alter the morphology of ordered… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules27175639
Abstract: In aqueous media, liquid crystalline droplets typically form spherical shapes in order to minimize surface energy. Recently, non-spherical geometry has been reported using molecular self-assembly of surfactant-stabilized liquid crystalline oligomers, resulting in branched and randomly… read more here.
