Nanostructures Based on Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanofabrication

Abstract

Block copolymers have attracted increasing interest for the synthesis of nanomaterials and fabrication of nanostructures due to their ability to self-organize at nanometer scales. A variety of nanoscale morphologies can be obtained by controlling the composition and architecture of the individual block components. In this chapter, we highlight the recent advances in the formation of nanostructures in bulk, generation of block copolymer based nanotemplate ordered thin films and their potential applications in nanofabrication including template nanolithography, deposition of functional nanomaterials as well as nanoporous membranes.
