Nanopattern Evolution in Block Copolymer Films: Experiment, Simulations and Challenges

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Complex Macromolecular Systems I

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 227))

Abstract

The present contribution reviews novel insights into block copolymer phase behavior and nanostructure formation in confined geometries. We focus on state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical progress in this area, with an emphasis on characterization methods and techniques that provide a quantitative framework for fundamental analysis. We discuss and compare basic system parameters that are readily controlled in simulations and in experiments, and present comparative studies of increasing degree of complexity concerning the phase behavior and ordering dynamics of cylinder- and lamella-forming block copolymers in thin films.
