Grubbs and co-workers review developments in brush block copolymer (BBCP) self-assembly toward photonic crystal applications. In this rapidly developing field, questions regarding the conformation of BBCPs and the formation of new morphologies provide further research opportunities.
A proposed mechanism for O-ATRP to discern the photophysical and chemical design principles that enable an organic molecule to serve as a catalyst for O-ATRP is described.
