C. Park and co‐workers develop high‐performance, printable, non‐volatile polymer memories with solution‐processed nanocomposite films of a conjugated block copolymer, poly(styrene‐ block ‐paraphenylene) (PS‐ b ‐PPP), and single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The devices, described on page 831 , show excellent reliability of both data retention over time and read/write cycle endurance at high temperatures of up to 100 °C without significant performance degradation. This arises from the strong, non‐destructive, and isomorphic π–π interactions between the SWNTs and the PPP block.
