Directed Self-assembly of Bottlebrush, Rod-Coil, and Multiblock Copolymers
We will describe block copolymer morphologies, including zigzags, bends, junctions, tiling patterns and hierarchical structures with two independently tunable periods, and their application to nanolithography and nanofabrication. Combinations of novel polymers, templating approaches, and processing techniques yield an extensive array of rectilinear and 3D pattern geometries, expanding current DSA capabilities.
