Dear Polymer Chemistry followers,
We wish you a successful and happy new year in 2011. We are starting to introduce to you one of Polymer Chemistry authors in our “Author of the week” section. There will be an interview and latest updates published on our authors every Friday. We hope you will like learning more about our authors.
Best wishes,

A variety of block copolymers that self assemble into hierarchal structures in solution as well as in the solid state have been created by a team of US and Chinese scientists.
The block copolymers contained poly(3-hexylthiophene) and poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) and were created from a straightforward procedure in good yield and with high purity. Polymers based on this chemistry could be suitable for organic photovoltaic applications the team claim.
