Inorganic Nanodots from Thin Films of Block Copolymers

However, most of the works still havelimitations in terms of the complexity of fabrication steps,synthesis of novel architectures, mass production withreasonable costs, and control of the morphology of the finalstructures.Recently, Russell and co-workers have reported a rapidroute by which the cylindrical nanodomains of an asymmetricpoly(styrene-co-ethyleneoxide) block copolymer (PS-b-PEO)could be oriented normal to the surface.
