Nanopattern method unlocks precise control of disorder for wave-guiding devices

A research team led by Professor So Youn Kim from Seoul National University has developed a methodology to design and control the “degree of disorder” in nanopattern arrays using metal-infiltrated block copolymer thin films, in collaboration with teams from DGIST and Sungkyunkwan University. Their findings are published in Nature Communications and have been selected as an Editors’ Highlight in materials science and chemistry.

A research team has developed a methodology to precisely design and control the “degree of disorder” in nanopattern arrays using metal-infiltrated block copolymer (BCP) thin films. The work was led by Professor So Youn Kim of the Seoul National University College of Engineering Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, in collaboration with Professor Su-Mi Hur’s team at DGIST and Professor S. Joon Kwon’s team at Sungkyunkwan University. The paper is published in the journal Nature Communications. The study was selected as an Editors’ Highlight in materials science and chemistry.
