abstract = {In this combined talk, first a comprehensive library of
nanopatterns derived from a single block copolymer (BCP)
exhibit wide range of structures from simple spheres to more
intricate forms, including split micelles, flower-like
clusters, toroids, disordered arrays, and other unique
morphologies [1]. Using polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine)
(PS-b-P2VP) surface micelles deposited on SiOx surfaces, a
distinctive transformation in morphology is triggered by
direct immersion in various solvents. By varying the solvent
type, BCP molecular weight, substrate interactions, and
temperature, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are
also affected by these driving morphological transitions.
Furthermore, the work highlights the practical utility of
BCP nanopatterns as templates for fabricating metal
nanostructures via direct solvent immersion. This method
provides a versatile and efficient strategy for producing
diverse nanostructures, with potential applications in the
fields of nanolithography, catalysis, electronics,
membranes, plasmonics, and photonics. Secondly, the protein
crystallization (kinetics) and liquid−liquid phase
separation (LLPS) are to be presented, showing the effective
protein (lysozyme)-salt (NaSCN) binding in the phase
diagram, with distinct crystal morphologies, by single- and
multi-arm crystals, flower-like crystal structures,
whiskers, and sea-urchin crystals [2]. Crystal morphologies
exhibit significant variations in changes in protein and
salt concentrations. Moreover, the adsorption of SCN− ions
to the surface of lysozyme is effectively enhanced by
applying the weak AC electric field in protein
crystallization processes.Reference:[1] Seokyoung Bae, Dong
