Pathway-engineering for highly-aligned block copolymer arrays
Abstract
While kinetic aspects of self-assembly can hinder ordering, non-equilibirum effects can also be exploited to enforce a particular kind of order. We develop a pathway-engineering approach, using it to select a particular arrangement of a block copolymer cylinder phase.
