Nanolithography: Painting with block copolymers.

news & views can be resolved with a spatial resolution of ~20 nm. Furthermore, the potential for high-resolution magnetic imaging is demonstrated by resolving Abrikosov vortices with 120 nm minimum lateral distance in a Nb thin film at B ~0.2 T (Fig. 1b). The combination of high spatial sensitivity with high bandwidth suggests the approach could have a range of exciting applications including t...

Pluronic block copolymers: novel functional molecules for gene therapy.

Pluronic block copolymers are recognized pharmaceutical excipients listed in the US and British Pharmacopoeia. They have been used extensively in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations including delivery of low molecular mass drugs and polypeptides. This review describes novel applications of Pluronic block copolymers in gene therapy. In particular, these molecules can modify the biological r...

Supramolecular Conjugated Block Copolymers

While the performance of polymer−polymer bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics (OPVs) is poor compared with polymer−fullerene OPVs, reducing or eliminating micrometer-scale phase separation in all-polymer OPVs may dramatically improve performance. Herein, we demonstrate that 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) quadruple hydrogen bonding interactions can be used to prevent micrometer-scale pha...
