Double Ordered Layers within Microphase-separated Lamellar Structure of Double Liquid Crystalline Side-chain Type Block Copolymer
A new hierarchical nanostructure was created by self-assembly of a double liquid crystalline side-chain type block copolymer. The block copolymer was successfully prepared via a nitroxide-mediated living free radical polymerization and formed double ordered layers within a phase-separated lamellar structure of the cast film.
