Disorder Transition Temperature

ABSTRACTSymmetric diblock copolymers undergo a disorder to order transition below a microphase separation transition temperature. In this temperature range the structure is characterized by alternating lamellae of thickness L. In thin film geometries, the lamellae are oriented normal to the substrate if there is a preferential interaction between either of the block constituents and the substrate/copolymer or copolymer/vacuum interfaces. Depending on the relation between the film thickness and L, the topography of the film might comprise of holes, islands or spinodal-like structures. We show that in a polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer of molecular weight 20, 000 g/mol, above the microphase separation transition temperature, the topography of the film depends on the thickness. A heirarchy of bicontinuous patterns and holes is observed with increasing film thickness for films thinner than 35 nm.

Mesoporous Thin Films

In this paper, we review on classes of materials that can be used as hard templates to fabricate nanostructured thin film materials. The hard templates discussed are anodized aluminum oxide (AAO), block copolymer (BC) self-assembly films, and mesoporous thin films (MTFs), with emphasis on MTFs since it has not been reviewed for the application as templates while the first two materials have been reviewed previously by others. Each one of the three classes of templates has advantages and drawbacks. Considering the pore dimensions available by each one of them, the three templates are complementary to one another. Some of the features of MTFs appear to be advantageous over the other types of templates. All and all, these three appear to have complementing features to cover the various aspects required for templates to synthesize nanostructured thin films.
