Block copolymer self-organization vs. interfacial modification in bilayered thin-film laminates
Abstract
Block copolymers remain one of the most extensively studied and utilized classes of macromolecules due to their extraordinary abilities to (i) self-assemble spontaneously into a wide variety of soft nanostructures and (ii) reduce the interfacial tension between, and thus compatibilize, immiscible polymer pairs. In bilayered thin-film laminates of immiscible homopolymers, block copolymers are similarly envisaged to stabilize such laminates. …
