Abstract: We investigate the temperature-dependent phase behavior of mixtures of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) microgel colloids and a triblock copolymer (PEO–PPO–PEO) surfactant. Usually, gelation in these systems results from an increase in temperature. Here we investigate the role… read more here.

Abstract: We introduce a computationally efficient continuum technique to simulate the complex kinetic pathways of block copolymer self-assembly. Subdiffusive chain dynamics is taken into account via nonlocal Onsager coefficients. An application to directed self-assembly (DSA) of… read more here.
