Abstract: | The first in situ proof of the presence of true nanoscale micelle structure within alternating layers of a self-assembled cationic and anionic diblock copolymer micelle-micelle multilayer film is presented using atomic force microscopy. Apparently similar layer morphologies are distinguished by the interaction force curves normal to each layer. The three-dimensional order in these low Tg diblock copolymer films, together with their mechanical resilience and strongly hydrated nature, suggests many new technological applications. |
