Most of the focus in co-assembly of BCPs and NPs has been placed on the controlled alignment of NPs, "passively," in the BCP domain. However, NPs with carefully designed interfacial properties "actively" direct self-assembled structure of BCP in a nonconventional route. Herein, we review recent investigations of the self-assembly of BCP domains in thin films via the addition of structure-directing organic and inorganic NPs. Understanding the phase behavior of BCP/NP coassembly along with the theoretical description can shed a light on the far-reaching potentials to creating nonconventional nanostructures rarely obtained via traditional fabrication tools.
