Nature Communications, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73849-9 Achieving Frank-Kasper phases in block copolymers is challenging, as is control over these morphologies. Here, the authors report the use of ionic liquids for direction of assembly to give control over micelle packing to obtain range of phases and transitions.
