BCP work headlined in C&EN

May 22, 2014 | News Articles

By etching polymethyl methacrylate from a self-assembled polystyrene-PMMA film, researchers created a nanoscale polstyrene line pattern (SEM at bottom) and used it to make a template for patterning computer hard disks (top). Packed in at 1.6 trillion dots per sq in, the white features are raised pillars, with tops measuring just 8 × 13 nm. Credit: HGST/San Jose

Work from a number of QNN members in the research area of block copolymer templated self-assembly was recently featured in Chemical and Engineering News. Co-PI Caroline Ross provided vital commentary on the state of the research area, and some of our recent publications were highlighted. Overall, the article discusses the current state of the research, as well as the potential for the future of nanopatterning. See the article here.
