DOI: 10.1016/j.polymer.2020.122519
Abstract: Abstract Block copolymers have the unique property to self-assemble into ordered microstructures with well-defined periodicity. Among the various attainable microdomain morphologies, complex morphologies with inherent structural connectivity are highly desirable. While such structures are difficult… read more here.
