Structure and energetics of grain boundaries in self-assembled double-gyroid block copolymer networks
Jing Chen, Aiping Zhu, Dan Wei +2
Grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitous defects in crystalline materials. However, they remain less explored in block copolymer ordered phases. Here, we develop a self-consistent fie…

Phase Behaviour of X-Shaped Liquid Crystalline Molecules
Dan Wei, Zhijuan He, Yunqing Huang +2
X-shaped liquid crystalline molecules (XLCMs) are obtained by tethering two flexible end A-blocks and two flexible side B-blocks to a rigid backbone (R). A rich array of ordered st…
