Abstract:
We study systematically the topography behavior of PHEMA-b-PMMA block as a function of the PHEMA and PMMA block lengths after selectively collapsing the top (PMMA) block by using surface-anchored assemblies of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-b-methyl methacrylate), PHEMA-b-PMMA, block copolymer with orthogonally varying lengths of each block. Our experimental results are in excellent qualitative agreement with topology diagrams predicted by self-consistent field calculations of Zhulina and co-workers.
