Abstract
|
The surface topography and the chemical morphology of poly(styrene-block-paramethylstyrene) diblock copolymers confined within isolated drops are investigated. The drop geometry imposes a two-dimensional spatial restriction. With scanning force microscopy, the film thickness dependence of the mean drop distance as the basic topographical feature is determined. In addition to large drops, a second smaller droplet structure is observed among the drops. The comparison of grazing incidence small-angle scattering using X-rays and neutrons shows that inside the drops the diblock copolymer orients into perpendicular lamellae with respect to the substrate surface. Compared to the bulk, the lamellar spacing is stretched parallel to the substrate.
