Abstract

Microphase separation is a commonly anticipated phenomenon in block copolymer systems. This can be attributed to differences in the chemical and physical composition of the homopolymer constituents. The extent to which microphase separation occurs often exert a strong influence on the specific surface structure/property/performance relationships. In the present study, methods of Angle-dependent Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) or ESCA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are utilized to discern the preference of a given constituent in the BPAC/PDMS block copolymer system for the near surface region under conditions of varying block lengths.
