Curing and nanostructure development in epoxy/block copolymer blends KU Leuven
Throughout the last decades, material research has increasingly been exploring the potential of ordered nanostructures to enhance mechanical, electrical, optical or other properties. Nanostructuring most elegantly happens through processes of self-assembly, being the spontaneous association of molecules, through non covalent bonds. When amphiphilic molecules, such as surfactants or block copolymers are introduced in a liquid matrix with which ...
