Moebius strips of chiral block copolymers

The Moebius topology is intriguing because of its structural elegance and distinct properties. Here the authors report block copolymer Moebius strips via a fast self-assembly of chiral block copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(D-lactide acid) in tetrahydrofuran/water mixed solvents.
