TLDR
A general route to fabricate highly ordered arrays of nanoscopic silicon oxide dots and stripes (see figure) from block copolymer thin films is described in this article, where cylindrical microdomains oriented normal and parallel to the surface are used as templates for the fabrication of nanoscale silicon oxide, with polydimethylsiloxane as the inorganic precursor.Abstract:
A general route to fabricate highly ordered arrays of nanoscopic silicon oxide dots and stripes (see figure) from block copolymer thin films is described. Poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) thin films with cylindrical microdomains oriented normal and parallel to the surface were used as templates for the fabrication of nanoscopic silicon oxide, with polydimethylsiloxane as the inorganic precursor.read more
