The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $465,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "Discovery of Self-Assembled Network Phases and Metallic Nanostructures Driven by Confinement." The goal of the 3-year project is to investigate a novel class of Janus multiblock bottlebrush copolymers that can self-assemble into unusual nanoscale structures, including metallic meshes and rectilinear nanostructures. The research aims to expand the range of self-assembled morphologies achievable from block copolymers and enable new applications in semiconductor device fabrication by introducing a metal-containing block into the polymer design. The project will train graduate and undergraduate students in this interdisciplinary field and engage in public outreach to promote diversity in science and engineering.
