Competing Interactions and Levels of Ordering in Self-Organizing Polymeric Materials
Abstract
The sophisticated use of self-organizing materials, which include liquid crystals, block copolymers, hydrogen- and π-bonded complexes, and many natural polymers, may hold the key to developing new structures and devices in many advanced technology industries. Synthetic materials are usually designed with only one structure-forming process in mind. However, combination of both complementary and antagonistic interactions in macromolecular systems can create order in materials over many length scales. Here polymer materials that make use of competing molecular interactions are summarized, and the prospects for the further development of such materials through both synthetic and processing pathways are highlighted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
