For block copolymers there is usually a strong correlation between the copolymer composition (volume fraction of each block) and the resulting solid state morphology. However, for a variety of potential applications, e.g., semipermeable membranes or... Read More about Chain Architecture as an Orthogonal Parameter To Influence Block Copolymer Morphology.

In a recent Viewpoint (ACS Macro Lett. 2014, 3, 1020), J.-F. Lutz brought to the community’s attention the need for more informative nomenclature, especially with respect to macromolecules with prescribed but not repeating sequences of monomers. Lutz...

Surface modification of amorphous PET in incompatible blends is demonstrated using fluorocarbon end-functional polystyrenes. Contact angles with water and decane were consistent with high levels of surface fluorocarbon, even for spin-cast films with...

Diphenylethylene (DPE) is a monomer which has attracted significant interest from both academia and industry. DPE can undergo (co)polymerization by living anionic polymerization but is incapable of forming a homopolymer due to steric hindrance. Herei...
