During the last two decades, block copolymers have gained an enormous attention due to their ability to form various nano-sized periodic structures, offering a means to develop various highly efficient functional nanomaterials or nanodevices. Furthermore, the recent block copolymer nanotechnology has evolved into block copolymer-like supramolecules in which unlike polymer blocks are physically linked together via reversible noncovalent bonds such as ionic bond in place of covalent bond. These supramolecular routes for block copolymer-like architecture provide us not only with a new option fro creating nanopatterned materials but also with a fascinating means to design tunable materials in response to external stimuli or conditions. Here, we theoretically consider the phase behaviors of various type of physically bonded block copolymer-like supramolecules and demonstrate their unique morphological tunability. |
