Block copolymer self-assembly derived mesoporous magnetic materials with three-dimensionally (3D) co-continuous gyroid nanostructure
Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D3SM01622F, PaperAmaury Jousset Drouhin, William R. T. Tait, William Moore, Fei Yu, Yuanzhi Li, J örg G. Werner, R. Bruce van Dover, Ulrich B. Wiesner This work elucidates a route to mesoporous magnetic materials with co-continuous morphologies from block copolymer self-assembly. The co-continuous structure impacts the magnetic behavior compared to non-structured chemically-identical materials.
