A design principle of polymers processable into 2D homeotropic order

A design principle of polymers processable into 2D homeotropic order

Vertical alignment of polymers on surfaces is challenging due to their flexibility and tendency to arrange on horizontal planes. Here, the authors report a design principle allowing polymers to be arranged into 2D homeotropic orientations by using long-range dipole-dipole interactions and hot-pressi...
