In the past decade, block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted increasing scientific and technological interest because of their inherent capability to spontaneously self-assemble into ordered arrays of nanostructures. The importance of nanostructures in a number of applications has fostered the need for well-defined, complex macromolecular architectures. In this thesis, the influence of macromolecular architecture on the bulk morphologies of novel linear-hyperbranched and linear brush-like dibl...In the past decade, block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted increasing scientific and technological interest because of their inherent capability to spontaneously self-assemble into ordered arrays of nanostructures. The importance of nanostructures in a number of applications has fostered the need for well-defined, complex macromolecular architectures. In this thesis, the influence of macromolecular architecture on the bulk morphologies of novel linear-hyperbranched and linear brush-like diblock copolymer structure is investigated. An innovative, generally applicable strategy for the preparation of these defined diblock copolymers, consisting of linear polystyrene and branched polycarbosilane blocks, is demonstrated. Furthermore, complete characterization and solid-state morphological studies are provided. Finally, the concept is extended to linear-hyperbrached and linear brush-like polyalkoxysilanes. A shift of the classical phase boundaries to higher PS weight fractions as well as the appearance of new morphologies confirms the dramatic effect that polymer topology has on the morphology of BCPs.» weiterlesen» einklappen
