Polymer vesicles made from poly(isoprene-b-styrene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) (PI-b-PS-b-P2VP) triblock copolymer confined within the nanopores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane are studied. It was found that these have well-defined, nanoscopic size, and complex microphase-separated hydrophobic membranes, comprised PS PI blocks, while coronas formed by P2VP block. Vesicle formation tracked using both transmission scanning electron microscopy. A mesh-like morphology in at a well-defined...
A promising vascular scaffold must possess satisfying mechanical properties, great hemocompatibility, and favorable tissue regeneration. Combining natural with synthetic materials is a popular method of creating/enhancing such scaffolds. However, the effect additional modification on requires further exploration.We selected polycaprolactone (PCL), which has excellent properties biocompatibility can be combined collagen. Electrospun fibers created using PCL/collagen solution were used to...
Rayleigh instabilities in bilayers of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) confined within the cylindrical nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes were investigated. The bilayered nanotubes thermally annealed to induce phase separation films. For short annealing times, transformed into nanorods with periodic encapsulated air pockets. With longer air-pockets coalesced form columns air. Small inclusions encased domains PS were, turn, incorporated PMMA nanorods....
Poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) nanostructures with multiple morphologies were fabricated by immersing PS-b-P4VP nanotubes in ethylene glycol, a nonsolvent for PS and good solvent P4VP, at different temperatures. Mesoporous structures generated from uniform nanoscopic wormlike micelles due to solvent-induced reconstruction when the spherical micellar heated above glass transition temperature of block. The mesoporous can be converted into inorganic oxide structures, like SiO2...
We present a simple route to prepare hierarchical structures by allowing the partial diffusion of polymer microspheres into nanopores anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Polystyrene (PS) were first spread onto silicon substrate and allowed self-assemble well-ordered monolayers microspheres. Upon heating above glass-transition temperature, PS pores AAO occurred only at in contact with membrane. After removal membrane, ordered arrays capped nanorods produced, yielding surfaces topographies...

High-density arrays of highly ordered ferritin nanocages are fabricated through the guided assembly thiol-modified on prepatterned gold nanodots, which prepared by block copolymer micelle lithography. One and only one nanocage is anchored to each nanodot, as confirmed scanning electron force microscopy. Detailed facts importance specialist readers published "Supporting Information".

The dewetting behavior of polystyrene (PS) films immersed in nonsolvent, ethylene glycol, was investigated at temperatures above the glass transition temperature on planar interfaces and walls cylindrical nanopores where interfacial interactions were varied. PS nanostructures with different shaped end-caps produced when nanotubes, confined within an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane, 130 °C. This system provides easy approach for fabricating polymer shapes that can be used to develop...
We investigated the formation of helical phase (H*) chiral block copolymers polystyrene-b-poly(l-lactide) (PS-b-PLLA) using transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and wide-angle diffraction. In particular, influence solvent affinity for either rate evaporation on morphology formed during solution-casting were examined. The was adjusted by changing temperature solution-casting, while between various solvents PS or PLLA blocks rationalized Hansen solubility parameters....
The ordering of a chiral block copolymer (BCP*) polystyrene-b-poly(d-lactide) during the solvent-casting process was studied in real time using situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle diffraction (WAXD) simultaneously. Three different solvents, namely benzene, dimethylformamide, 1,3-dioxolane, were used. It found that, according to solution phase behavior these BCPs*, there three stages morphology development solvent removal. Initially, removal same for all solvents studied....
We demonstrate a simple route for the preparation of 1 inch long continuous gold nanowires having an average diameter 35 nm by electrospinning block copolymer solution. Fibers with diameters 120–160 were collected from 12 wt% polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) copolymer–gold salt solution at three different applied voltages. In order to make nanowires, electrospun fibers immersed in ethanol. Subsequently, oxygen plasma treatment was degrade polymers completely and...
Abstract A symmetric diblock copolymer, poly(pentafluorostyrene‐ b ‐styrene) (PPFS‐ ‐PS), is synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The behavior of PPFS‐ ‐PS thin films on silicon wafers investigated. Lamellar microdomains oriented parallel to the film surface are formed when heated 220 °C for 24 h, due preferential interfacial interactions and low energy PPFS. An electric field used overcome fluorinated block with substrate so as force lamellar orient normal surface.
