Abstract

Abstract This review captures the scientific research topics of Chris K. Ober, which deal with (1) the self‐assembly of nanostructures from (a) liquid crystalline materials and (b) block copolymers, (2) design of nanomaterials for deep UV (DUV) and extreme UV (EUV) lithography, (3) development of environmentally friendly and sustainable chemistry and (4) combinations of multiple fields to achieve desired material properties for the final device applications.
