Architecture has long been recognized as exerting considerable influence over block polymer microphase behavior. Here, we leverage recent advances in synthetic chemistry to investigate new combinations of block sequence and architecture to extract physical insight connecting molecular design, mesoscale assembly, and macroscopic properties. These experimental studies are complemented by contemporary polymer theory and simulations to help guide and interpret experimental results.
