Nakayoshi Seminar in Sendai Nakayoshi-seminar 15 March, 2024 (Fri.) 16:00-17:30 Computer modelling of composite nanostructured block copolymer based materials A.V. Zvelindovsky, Centre for Computational Physics, University of Lincoln, UK Abstract: Modern technology requires economic use of materials and energy. A possible solution to achieve that economy is to develop materials with well-controlled nanostructures. A powerful materials platform to develop such materials is using block copolymers as a building matrix. The advantage of such an approach is that block copolymers have intrin ..read more
