We introduce a novel self-neutralization concept by designing molecular architecture of a block copolymer. We synthesized star-shaped 18 arm poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-polystyrene copolymers ((PMMA-b-PS)18) exhibiting lamellar and PMMA cylindrical nanodomains. When a thin film was spin-coated on a substrate, vertically aligned lamellar and cylindrical nanodomains were obtained without any pre- or post-treatment, although thermal annealing for a short time (less than 30 min) was required to improve the spatial array of vertically aligned nanodomains. Moreover, vertical orientations are observed on versatile substrates, for instance, semiconductor (Si, SiOx), metal (Au), PS or PMMA-brushed substrate, and a flexible polymer sheet of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). |
