The Morphology of Ordered Block Copolymer Patterns as Probed by High Resolution Imaging by D Borah, T Ghoshal, M T Shaw, A Chaudhari, N Petkov, A P Bell, J D Holmes, M A Morris

“…The microphase separation of block copolymer (BCP) thin films can afford a simple and cost-effective means to studying nanopattern surfaces, and especially the fabrication of nanocircuitry. However, because of complex interface effects and other complications, their 3D morphology, which is often critical for application, can be more complex than first thought. …”

TEMPO-oxidized cellulose fiber from spent coffee ground: Studying their properties as a function of particle size by Hooriyeh Rahmani Khoshk, Marzieh Moeenfard

“…In conclusion, finer SCG particles were highly sensitive to reaction conditions and showed high tendency toward dissolution, which make them unsuitable candidates for fiber fabrication. In terms of SCG, only coarse particles (A: 850–1400 μm) were found to be ideal for producing oxidized cellulose fibers.…”
