We report an investigation of the mechanisms involved in the formation of nanostructured epoxy thermosetting systems using highly epoxidized poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) (eSIS) block copolymer at three different ...

This work applies a molecular theory to study the formation of lateral self-assembled aggregates in mixed brushes composed of polyanion and polycation chains. In order to overcome the well-known limitations of mean-field ...

We investigate the confinement-induced formation and stability of helix morphologies in lamella-forming AB diblock copolymers via large-scale, particle-based, single-chain-in-mean-field simulations. Such helix structures ...

Nanostructuring of thermosetting systems using the concept of templating and taking advantage of the self-assembling capability of block copolymers is an exciting way for designing new materials for nanotechnological ...

Homogeneous transparent hybrid films consisting of chitosan (CHI), poly(monomethyl itaconate) (PMMI) and silica were obtained indicating the absence of microphase separation. These ternary hybrid materials are very interesting ...

In this study fabrication and characterization of transparent nanostructured composite films based on cellulose triacetate (CTA) and poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (EPE) triblock copolymer ...
