  • Title: An in situ grazing incidence X-ray scattering study of block copolymer thin films during solvent vapor annealing.
    Author: Gu X, Gunkel I, Hexemer A, Gu W, Russell TP.
    Journal: Adv Mater; 2014 Jan 15; 26(2):273-81. PubMed ID: 24282077.
    Abstract:
    In situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering experiments on thin films of block copolymers during annealing in neutral solvent vapors are reported. By removing the solvent in a controlled manner, the period of the microphase separated morphology is found to increase with increasing block copolymer concentration in a power law manner with an exponent ∼ 2/3. By venting the systems at different rates during the solvent removal process, kinetically arresting the system, the period of the microphase separated morphology in the dried film can be varied.
