Carson Amis, Eric Karim, Alamgir Keyword(s) combinatorial methods diblock copolymer films Surface pattern formation labyrinthine surface patterns Abstract/Summary Surface pattern formation in diblock copolymer films is investigated as a function of film thickness h and molecular mass M. Smooth films are observed for certain h ranges centered about multiples of the lamellar thickness L0, and we attribute this effect to an increase in the surface chain density with h in the outer brushlike copolymer layer. We also observe apparently stable labyrinthine surface patterns for other h ranges, and the average size of these patterns is found to scale as these patterns is found to scale as l L22.50. Hole and island patterns occur for h ranges between those of the labyrinthine patterns and the smooth regions, and their size similarly decreases with L0 and M.
