Abstract
The confined self-assembly of asymmetric diblock copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) within an array of silica nanobowls prepared using a colloidal spheres templating technique is investigated. By manipulation of the nanobowl size, block copolymer (BCP) thickness, and interfacial interaction, a rich variety of ordered BCP nanostructures not accessible in the bulk system or under other confinements are obtained, resulting in hierarchically ordered nanostructures.
