Abstract

The self-assembly in diblock copolymer-based supramolecules, obtained by hydrogenbonding short side chains to one of the blocks, as well as in two-length-scale linearterpolymers results in hierarchical structure formation. The orientation of thedifferent domains, e.g. layers in the case of a lamellar-in-lamellar structure, isdetermined by the molecular architecture, graft-like versus linear, and the relativemagnitude of the interactions involved. In both cases parallel and perpendiculararrangements have been observed. The comb-shaped supramolecules approach is ideallysuited for the preparation of nanoporous structures. A bicontinuous morphologywith the supramolecular comb block forming the channels was finally achieved byextending the original approach to suitable triblock copolymer-based supramolecules.
