We investigate in detail the processes involved when soft polymeric materials are imaged with TappingMode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM). Measuring lateral arrays of …
An analysis of the morphological behavior of substrate-supported diblock copolymer films for thicknesses t below the equilibrium period L 0 of the copolymer is presented. Substrate …
Block copolymer melts are capable of controlling the location of nanoparticles due to their ability to self-assemble into ordered nanoscopic structures. Thin films offer additional control …
