Topological effect on mechanical properties of self-assembled block copolymer

Herein, this work aims to demonstrate the topological effect on the mechanicalx characteristics of self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs). The lamellae-forming polystyrene-block-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-b-PDMS) can be self-assembled into various nanostructured monoliths with the use of PS-selective...
