Chemical Interactions and Their Role in the Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer Thin Films
The thermodynamics of self-assembling systems are discussed in terms of the chemical interactions and the intermolecular forces between species. It is clear that there are both theoretical and practical limitations on the dimensions and the structural regularity of these systems. These considerations are made with reference to the microphase separation that occurs in block copolymer (BCP) syste...
متن کاملFabrication of Nanodots Using Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer
Silicon microchips have continued to grow progressively smallerto meet the demands of a competitive market. The next step indevelopment will send the chips from micro-order to nano-order,giving rise to new and challenging complications. Here, twomethods are explored to develop such technology. The firstinvolves molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of isotopicallycon...
متن کاملAiloring Spatial Orientations of Microphase-Separated Cylinders and Lamellae of Block Copolymer Thin Films
In the study, I investigated microphaseseparated nanostructures of PS-P2VP thin films by annealing in binary solvent vapors of chloroform and methanol. Ordered microphase-separated nanostructures were achieved by controlling solvent annealing conditions. One of the key parameters is the compositions of binary co-solvent vapors. We also discuss the thermodynamic properties of perpendicularly-or...
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 کاملStructural development of gold and silver nanoparticles within hexagonally ordered spherical micellar diblock copolymer thin films.
The spatial arrangement of metal nanoparticle (NP) arrays in block copolymers has many potential applications in OFET-type memory devices. In this study, we adopted a trapping approach in which we used a monolayer thin film of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS56k-b-P4VP8k)-a highly asymmetric diblock copolymer having a spherical micelle morphology-to incorporate various amounts of one...
