When cast from a mixed solvent, a midblock-sulfonated pentablock ionomer self-assembles into spherical ionic microdomains that are loosely connected. Upon exposure to liquid water, nanoscale channels irreversibly develop between the microdomains due to swelling and form a continuous mesoscale network. We use electron tomography and real-time X-ray scattering to follow this transformation and show that the resultant morphology provides a highly effective diffusive pathway.}, number={10}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Mineart, Kenneth P. and Al-Mohsin, Heba A. and Lee, Byeongdu and Spontak, Richard J.}, year={2016}, month={Mar} } @article{al-mohsin_mineart_spontak_2015, title={Highly Flexible Aqueous Photovoltaic Elastomer Gels Derived from Sulfonated Block Ionomers}, volume={5}, ISSN={["1614-6840"]}, DOI={10.1002/aenm.201401941}, abstractNote={H.
