| Session 298 - Polymer Thin Films and Interfaces III | |||
| 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, and should highlight the characterization of thin film morphologies and provide useful insights into nanostructure formation. | |||
