Session: Nanoscale Structure in Polymers I (2010 Annual Meeting)

Description:

Self-assembled systems provide the opportunity to design materials for nanoscale applications based on their ability to form well-organized and periodic structures. This session focuses on the ordering, stability, and morphology of nanostructured polymeric materials generated using block copolymers and polymer blends. Both experimental and theoretical works are welcome and should provide useful insights into nanostructure formation.
