Polymer blending is a powerful approach to expand the nanopatterning landscape for block copolymer (BCP) directed self-assembly, itself a promising route to enhance resolution in established lithography techniques. However, investigating the vast and complex parameter spaces associated with blend self-assembly remains a daunting challenge. This talk will highlight examples where blending BCPs with homopolymers can dramatically speed up self-assembly kinetics for potential applications from nanophotonics to membrane synthesis, while blending two BCPs enables registered, template-responsive pattern selection. I will further describe ongoing efforts to accelerate investigations of blend formulation and processing using new combinatorial and autonomous methods.
