Nanoparticle-Induced Phase Transitions in Diblock-Copolymer Films
Incorporation of nanoparticles into self-assembled block copolymers has been explored as an efficient way for improving the mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and optical properties of materials at the nanometer scale. Recent computer simulations predict that the cooperative self-organization of nanoparticles and block copolymers should yield a wide variety of structures with well-co...
متن کاملInterference microscopy on thin diblock copolymer films
2014 At equilibrium thin films of symmetric diblock copolymers exhibit a morphology where the lamellar microdomains are oriented parallel to the external surfaces. Interference microscopy has been used to investigate this orientation which results in a quantization of the film thickness. Solution cast films of the symmetric polystyrene/polymethylmethacrylate P(S-b-MMA) diblock copolymers exhibi...
متن کاملLateral nanopatterns in thin diblock copolymer films induced by selective solvents.
Block copolymers have long been studied for their theories and applications especially in nanotechnology.1-5 They have periodic structures with 10-100 nm long microphase separated domains which can be controlled by the molecular weight and composition of the block copolymer. Regulating these two parameters, one can prepare thin films with different morphologies over large areas. The patterns fo...
متن کاملProtonation-Induced Microphase Separation in Thin Films of a Polyelectrolyte-Hydrophilic Diblock Copolymer
Block copolymers composed of poly(oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) are disordered in the neat state but can be induced to order by protonation of the P2VP block, demonstrating a tunable and responsive method for triggering assembly in thin films. Comparison of protonation with the addition of salts shows that microphase separation is due to selective pr...
متن کاملSolvent-induced novel morphologies in diblock copolymer blend thin films.
We report the morphology and phase behaviors of blend thin films containing two polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymers with different blending compositions induced by a selective solvent for the PMMA block, which were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The neat asymmetric PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymers employed in this study, respectively coded as a...
