Abstract
Block copolymers (BCPs) self-assembly has continually attracted interest as a means to provide bottom-up control over nanostructures. While various methods have been demonstrated for efficiently ordering BCP nanodomains, most of them do not generically afford control of nanostructural orientation. For many applications of BCPs, such as energy storage, microelectronics, and separation membranes, alignment of nanodomains is a key requirement for enabling their practical use or enhancing materials performance. This review focuses on summarizing research progress on the development of anisotropy in BCP systems, covering a variety of topics from established aligning techniques, resultant material properties, and the associated applications. Specifically, the significance of aligning nanostructures and the anisotropic properties of BCPs is discussed and highlighted by demonstrating a few promising applications. Finally, the challenges and outlook are presented to further implement aligned BCPs into practical nanotechnological applications, where exciting opportunities exist.

Abstract
The behavior of lamellae forming diblock-copolymer melts confined by two non-selective substrates under shear is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Since the substrate/copolymer preferential interaction is absent, the vertically oriented lamellae (L⊥) are formed. The response of L⊥ phase under transverse and perpendicular modes of shear is studied for a wide range of shear rates, γ̇. In particular, shear deformation and reorientation transition, flow behavior, and difference in the macroscopic response under the two modes of shear are discussed. We show that an inclined lamellae state observed for transverse shear below a critical shear rate γ̇* is stabilized by a cyclic motion of chains close to the substrates. The value of γ̇*, at which lamellae dissolve and reorient along the flow field during transverse shear, coincides with the onset of shear-thinning. For γ̇<γ̇*, the shear viscosity for transverse shear is much larger compared to that observed in perpendicular shear, while there is no difference for γ̇>γ̇*.

Abstract
Self-assembled lamellar structures composed of block copolymers are simulated by molecular dynamics. The response of a bulk system to external shear is investigated, in particular, the average energy, the entropy production, and the stability of the lamellae's orientation. We distinguish two orientations, a parallel orientation in which the normal to the lamellae sheets lies in the direction of the shear gradient, and a perpendicular orientation in which the normal lies perpendicular to the shear gradient and shear direction. The perpendicular phase is stable throughout all shear rates. The parallel phase has higher internal energy and larger entropy production than the perpendicular phase and moreover becomes unstable at relatively small shear rates. The perpendicular orientation should therefore be more stable at any finite shear rate. Surface effects are probably responsible for the stability of the parallel phase observed experimentally at small shear rates.

Abstract
Copolymer E(17)B(12) (E denotes OCH(2)CH(2), B denotes OCH(2)CH(C(2)H(5)), and the subscripts denote number-average chain lengths) was prepared by sequential oxyanionic polymerization and characterized by GPC (for distribution width) and NMR spectroscopy (for absolute composition and chain length). Dynamic and static light scattering and rheometry were used to characterize micelles in dilute solution and demonstrate the formation of compact micelles at low temperatures and of elongated micelles at higher temperatures, the latter being accompanied by turbidity of the solution. Rheological methods applied across a range of concentrations and temperatures served to demonstrate the formation of worm-like micelles. Gels based on entangled worm-like micelles (some of them turbid) and on packed compact micelles were identified and their properties were explored.

Abstract
Motivated by the experimentally observed shear-induced destabilization and reorientation of smectic-A-like systems, we consider an extended formulation of smectic-A hydrodynamics. We include both, the smectic layering (via the layer displacement u and the layer normal p(circ)) and the director n(circ) of the underlying nematic order in our macroscopic hydrodynamic description and allow both directions to differ in nonequilibrium situations. In an homeotropically aligned sample the nematic director does couple to an applied simple shear, whereas the smectic layering stays unchanged. This difference leads to a finite (but usually small) angle between n(circ) and p(circ), which we find to be equivalent to an effective dilatation of the layers. This effective dilatation leads, above a certain threshold, to an undulation instability of the layers. We generalize our earlier approach [G. K. Auernhammer, H. R. Brand, and H. Pleiner, Rheol. Acta 39, 215 (2000)] and include the cross couplings with the velocity field and the order parameters for orientational and positional order and show how the order parameters interact with the undulation instability. We explore the influence of various material parameters on the instability. Comparing our results to recent experiments and molecular dynamic simulations, we find a good qualitative agreement.

Abstract
The effect of large amplitude oscillatory shear on two-dimensional stripe patterns formed by block copolymers was investigated using cell dynamics simulations. A global orientational order parameter S and a correlation function for stripe normals G(r-r(')) were used to characterize the degree of stripe orientation under shear. The kinetics of stripe alignment, quantified by S, at various shear and quench conditions were studied as a function of strain amplitude, shear frequency, and temperature. The mechanisms of shear alignment and defect annihilation were investigated. A critical shear condition for complete alignment of stripes along the shear direction was also identified.
