Nanostructuring with diblock copolymers
… In this thesis directed self-assembly of diblock copolymers was demonstrated to facilitate the defined and controlled positioning of noble metal nanoclusters in highly periodic and aperiodic patterns. Next to investigating the possibilities of self-assembly in connection with top-down …

Morphologies of PDMS-containing diblock polymers
… of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-containing diblock polymers are investigated as a function of volume fraction, segregation, processing procedure, and temperature. Strongly segregated polyisoprene-PDMS and polystyrene-PDMS diblocks are prepared according to standard procedures in the …

Diblock carbon nanotubes compatibilized immiscible polymer blends
… blends. Nanotubes with dual chemistry (i.e diblock CNTs) allowing them to be compatible with two different polymers have previously been synthesized. Asymmetric double cantilever beam (ADCB) studies were conducted to quantitatively measure the ability of the diblock CNTs to compatibilize …

Nanophase separation in monodisperse rodcoil diblock polymers
… self-organization in condensed phases of rodcoil diblock polymers synthesized in our laboratory. Each macromolecule consists of a rigid and monodisperse rodlike segment covalently attached to a flexible coillike segment of narrow molecular weight distribution such that both segments share the same …

Self-assembly of linear-dendritic diblock copolymers
Linear-dendritic diblock copolymers combine the properties of dendritic macromolecules with the morphology of block copolymers, making it possible to create nanostructured materials which self assemble in the bulk state to form ordered thin films, and in solution to form highly functional micellar …

Complexation Between DNA and Hydrophilic-Cationic Diblock Copolymers
… polycation architectures, hydrophilic-cationic diblock copolymers are particularly promising due to their versatility. Compared to the emphasis on biological evaluation of polyplexes, however, in-depth understanding of the polyplex formation process (and the parameters involved) is rather …

Self-assembly of globular protein-polymer diblock copolymers
Self-assembly of protein-polymer block copolymers provides a simple bottom-up approach towards protein nanopatteming for the fabrication of more effective and efficient bioelectronic and biocatalytic devices. Changes in shape and surface chemistry between proteinpolymer conjugates and classical …

Order in side-chain liquid crystalline diblock copolymers
The architecture of side-chain liquid crystalline diblock copolymers (SCLCBC's) involves order on two different but interdependent length scales. Through molecular-scale interactions, liquid crystalline moieties self-assemble into a variety of mesophases, and on a larger length scale, chemical …

Structural analysis of diblock copolymer nanotemplates using grazing incidence scattering
Die Aufgabenstellung dieser Arbeit ist zweigeteilt. Zum einen wurde eine lithographische Methode zur Herstellung von Nanotemplaten geordneter magnetischer Nanostrukturen auf großen Oberflächen (größer als 1x1 cm^2) untersucht. Zum anderen wurde eine strukturelle Analyse der erhaltenen Nanotemplate …

Order in Thin Films of Diblock Copolymers by Supramolecular Assembly
Thin membranes with dense periodic arrays of nanoscopic voids were fabricated using the principles of supramolecular assembly and self-organization in polymers. Such nanoporous membranes can be used as templates for synthesis and patterning of various organic and inorganic materials. In this thesis …

The synthesis and assembly of linear-dendritic rod diblock copolymers
… linear polymer core, and hybrid-linear dendritic diblock copolymers have been prepared by attaching a dendron to the end functional group of a linear polymer. This linear block in the diblock copolymers also adds physical integrity and an assembly mechanism for arrangement of the polymer. …
