DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.6b02692
Abstract: The formation of ordered morphologies in thin films of symmetric diblock copolymer melts is considered theoretically. Somewhat surprisingly, under proper boundary conditions the presence of a lamellar chemical pattern on the substrate, being sufficiently pronounced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.0c21549
Abstract: The influence of magnetite nanoparticles coated with poly(acrylic acid) (Fe3O4@PAA NPs) on the organization of block copolymer thin films via a self-assembly process was investigated. Polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) films were obtained by the dip-coating method and thoroughly… read more here.
