Salt Complexation in Block Copolymer Thin Films
Ion complexation within cylinder-forming block copolymer thin films was found to affect the ordering process of the copolymer films during solvent annealing, significantly enhancing the long-range positional order. Small amounts of alkali halide or metal salts were added to PS-b-PEO, on the order of a few ions per chain, where the salt complexed with the PEO block. The orientation of the cylind...
متن کاملShear ordering in thin films of spherical block copolymer.
We have investigated shear-induced alignment of a bilayer of spherical diblock copolymer micelles within thin films using molecular dynamics simulations at two different levels of coarse-graining. At the microscopic level, the copolymers are modeled as bead and spring chains with specific interaction potentials which produce strongly segregated spherical micelles. The simulations qualitatively ...
متن کاملStability of Order in Solvent-Annealed Block Copolymer Thin Films
One way to produce high order in a block copolymer thin film is by solution casting a thin film and slowly evaporating the solvent in a sealed vessel. Such a solvent-annealing process is a versatile method to produce a highly ordered thin film of a block copolymer. However, the ordered structure of the film degrades over time when stored under ambient conditions. Remarkably, this aging process ...
متن کاملRapid thermal processing of self-assembling block copolymer thin films.
Self-assembling block copolymers generate nanostructured patterns which are useful for a wide range of applications. In this paper we demonstrate the capability to control the morphology of the self-assembling process of PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer thin films on unpatterned surfaces by means of fast thermal treatment performed in a rapid thermal processing machine. The methodology involves the ...
متن کاملSurface morphology diagram for cylinder-forming block copolymer thin films.
We investigate the effect of the ordering temperature (T) and film thickness (h(f)) on the surface morphology of flow-coated block copolymer (BCP) films of asymmetric poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate). Morphology transitions observed on the ordered film surface by atomic force microscopy (AFM) are associated with a perpendicular to a parallel cylinder BCP microphase orientation transition...
