The ability of diblock copolymers to self-assemble into periodic microstructures with length scales in the nanometer range offers many opportunities for fundamental research and applications. For practical applications, it is often desirable that the microstructures have a high degree of order on macroscopic length scales and are oriented in a desired direction. This can be achieved in a large volume

For several decades, poly(1,2-difluoroethylene) [PVLF, −(CHFCHF)n−] had been believed to be atactic and amorphous. However, our recent study has revealed that PVLF is an atactic but partially crystalline polymer. In the present report, the crystal structure of PVLF, as the most important basic structural information, was determined by the quantitative analysis of 2D wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD)

Cannabidiol (CBD) is viewed as a promising therapeutic agent against a variety of health ailments; however, its efficacy is limited by poor aqueous solubility. Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) can enhance the solubility of therapeutics by distributing them throughout a polymer matrix. In consideration of ASD formulations with CBD, we investigate the interactions of CBD with various polymers: poly(vinylpyrrolidone)
