Controlling the chirality and number of strands of helices self-assembled from achiral block copolymers confined inside a nanopore: a simulation study

Soft Matter, 2021, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D1SM00103E, PaperXiejun Hu, Zheng Wang, Yuhua Yin, Run Jiang, Baohui Li A chiral patch added to the confining cylindrical nanopore can induce the formation of helical structures from achiral block copolymers and exhibit good control over their chirality and the number of strands.
