    Partners

    CHESS has proposed that the NSF support a “sub-facility” at CHESS. This allows other federal and state agencies, private foundations, academic institutions, and private industry to become partners with CHESS.

In-situ x-ray scattering studies of solvent vapor annealing reviewed

Based on research spanning more than 15 years at CHESS and at HASYLAB, Christine M. Papadakis at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, Dorthe Posselt at Roskilde University, Denmark, and CHESS staff scientist Detlef Smilgies published a comprehensive review on in-situ solvent vapor annealing processes in block copolymers, based on their own work and important contributions by other groups [1].
