Polymer Thin Films and Interfaces III

Tuesday, October 18, 2011: 3:15 PM
L100 B (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:
Block copolymer thin films provide the opportunity to design materials ideal for nanoscale applications based on their ability to self-assemble into periodic structures. This session focuses on the manipulation of thin film copolymer ordering using surfaces, electric fields, solvent annealing, topographical patterns, mechanical shearing, or other methods. Both experimental and theoretical works are welcome.
