End-functionalized ions promote stability of highly frustrated phases in diblock copolymers

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 37, September 2026. SignificanceBlock copolymers spontaneously assemble into ordered nanostructures with tunable geometry, but topologically complex “frustrated” phases are largely inaccessible in conventional neutral systems. We show that ionic interactions localized at ...
