Abstract:
The generation of defect-free polymer nanostructures by nanoimprinting methods is described. Long-range nanorheology and shorter-range surface energy effects can be efficiently combined to provide alignment of copolymer lamellae over several micrometers. As an example, a perpendicular organization with respect to circular tracks is shown, demonstrating the possibility of writing ordered radial nanostructures over large distances.
