Mixing microphase-separating diblock copolymers and nanoparticles can lead to the self-assembly of organic/inorganic hybrid materials that are spatially organized on the nanometre scale. Controlling particle location and patterns within the polymeric matrix domains remains, however, an unmet need. Computer simulation of such systems constitutes an interesting challenge since an appropriate technique would require the capturing of both the formation of the diblock mesophases and the copolymer–particle and particle–particle interactions, which can affect the ultimate structure of the material.
