Non-native three-dimensional block copolymer morphologies
Self-assembly is a powerful paradigm, wherein molecules spontaneously form ordered phases exhibiting well-defined nanoscale periodicity and shapes. However, the inherent energy-minimization aspect of self-assembly yields a very limited set of morphologies, such as lamellae or hexagonally packed cylinders. Here, we show how soft self-assembling materials-block copolymer thin films-can be manipul...
متن کاملNanoparticle superlattice engineering with DNA.
A current limitation in nanoparticle superlattice engineering is that the identities of the particles being assembled often determine the structures that can be synthesized. Therefore, specific crystallographic symmetries or lattice parameters can only be achieved using specific nanoparticles as building blocks (and vice versa). We present six design rules that can be used to deliberately prepa...
متن کاملHierarchical patterns of three-dimensional block-copolymer films formed by electrohydrodynamic jet printing and self-assembly.
Self-assembly of block-copolymers provides a route to the fabrication of small (size, <50 nm) and dense (pitch, <100 nm) features with an accuracy that approaches even the demanding specifications for nanomanufacturing set by the semiconductor industry. A key requirement for practical applications, however, is a rapid, high-resolution method for patterning block-copolymers with different molecu...
متن کاملDeciphering the three-dimensional morphology of free-standing block copolymer thin films by transmission electron microscopy.
Block copolymer thin films with distinct morphologies are prepared by spin casting a nominally lamellar assay of poly(styrene-block-ethylene oxide) from a variety of solvents with and without salt doping. The 3-D morphologies of free-standing thin-film regions, which are obtained by casting directly onto holey substrates, are investigated in detail using various energy-filtering transmission el...
متن کاملThree-dimensional study of cylindrical morphology in a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer
When a block copolymer undergoes microphase separation, well ordered microstructures result which give the copolymer unique thermal and mechanical properties. In relating these properties quantitatively to the microstructure, and in devising models for the phase separation, theoreticians have always invoked highly idealized structural elements. However, variations in the actual microstructure m...
