Abstract

An atomic-force microscopy study has surprisingly revealed that ultrathin copolymer films fabricated according to Langmuir technology constitute a network of tangled filaments. A long-range order is absent in the samples. The observed filaments consist of several parallel-packed copolymer chains. The shape of ferroelectric domains in a film is independent of the direction of copolymer chains. Each domain includes a large number of filaments. The nature of high-temperature (ferroelectric) and low-temperature phase transitions has been discussed in terms of structural data.
