Block copolymer photonic crystals : towards self-assembled active optical elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Block copolymers have proven to be a unique materials platform for easily fabricated large-area photonic crystals. While the basic concept of block copolymer based photonic band gap materials has been well demonstrated, ... -
Block copolymer self-assembly - a computational approach towards novel morphologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Spontaneous self-assembly of materials is a phenomenon exhibited by different molecular systems. Among many, Block copolymers (BCPs) proved to be particularly interesting due to their ability to microphase separate into ... -
Block copolymer self-assembly : lithography, magnetic fabrication, and optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly is attractive because it provides nanoscale long-range ordered structures in a massive quantity. The capability of generating features with size as low as 5 nm is of particular interest ... -
Block copolymer self-assembly and templating strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Block copolymers microphase separate to form periodic patterns with period of a few nm and above without the need for lithographic guidance. These self-assembled nanostructures have a variety of bulk geometries (alternating ... -
Block copolymer-templated iron oxide nanoparticles for bimodal growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Since their discovery carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have sparked great interest due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. These properties make carbon nanotubes desirable for numerous applications ... -
Block copolymers containing charge transport groups and semiconductor nanoclusters : synthesis, characterization, and optoelectronic applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Block copolymers containing pendant charge transport groups were synthesized for use in optoelectronic devices. The polymers were synthesized by the living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of functionalized ... -

The blockchain revolution : new opportunities in equity markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The technological revolution of digital and online computing combined with the information revolution paved the way for the emergence of innovations to reshape existing industries and the way we think about traditional ... -
Blockchain technology -- applications in improving financial inclusion in developing economies : case study for small scale agriculture in Africa
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Access to appropriate financial services is still a major challenge in many developing economies. Efforts to resolve these challenges are generally included in the wider financial inclusion initiatives, which aim to provide ... -
Blockchain technology in supply chain and logistics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Blockchain technology is a peer-to-peer infrastructure based on distributed databases and smart contracts as the business logic. The distributed ledger technology eliminates the need for intermediaries disrupting the ... -
Blockchain-as-a-service : the effect of cloud computing and vice-versa
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)A Blockchain is a distributed database or ledger of validated and verified records of transactions and exchanges executed between shared parties participating in the chain. Blockchain is intrinsically the technology that ... -
Blogonomics : business and social changes from the blog
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Back in 2003, Blogs as well as wikis started the Web 2.0 frenzy with online community networks and user generated content. Web 2.0 has recently cooled down, but it may have started a new era. The purpose of this paper is ... -
Blood clotting inspired polymer physics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The blood clotting process is one of the human body's masterpieces in targeted molecular manipulation, as it requires the activation of the clotting cascade at a specific place and a specific time. Recent research in the ... -
Blood-brain barrier model on a microfluidic chip for the study of tumor cell extravasation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)With up to 40% of cancer patients showing metastatic lesions to the brain and a 30% five-year survival rate post-diagnosis, secondary tumors to the brain are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Understanding the ... -
Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense in the Gulf of Maine : investigations using physical-biological model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense are annually recurrent in the western Gulf of Maine (WGOM) and pose a serious economic and public health threat. Transitions between and vital rates within the life ... -
The blowup formula for higher rank Donaldson invariants
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this thesis, I study the relationship between the higher rank Donaldson invariants of a smooth 4-manifold X and the invariants of its blowup X#CP2 . This relationship can be expressed in terms of a formal power series ... -
