Title
Self-assembly and morphology in double crystalline diblock copolymer/homopolymer blends with competitive hydrogen bonding
Block copolymers are of particular interest due to their ability to form a rich variety of nanostructures via self-assembly [1]. The self-assembly via competitive hydrogen bonding is a novel concept which is based on the competition between different blocks of the block copolymer to form more than one kind of intermolecular interaction with the complimentary polymer in the system. Recently, Guo and co-workers have proven that careful selection of the polymers specifically the block copolymer, and the experimental conditions can lead to self-assembled structures in blends and complexes exhibiting competitive hydrogen bonding [2-5].
