Chemical Interactions and Their Role in the Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer Thin Films

Chemical Interactions and Their Role in the Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer Thin Films

The thermodynamics of self-assembling systems are discussed in terms of the chemical interactions and the intermolecular forces between species. It is clear that there are both theoretical and practical limitations on the dimensions and the structural regularity of these systems. These consideration...
