Abstract :
[en] A PS-b-PIP-b-PMMA copolymer has been melt-blended with homo-PMMA with a similar molecular weight as the PMMA block. For a 50:50 wt.-% mixture, the components form 3D bicontinuous lamellae. Upon annealing at 190 °C, a more regular network is observed, which consists of PMMA and 55 nm-thick bilayered lamellae of triblock copolymer, both being continuous. This co-continuity persists even when of the homo-PMMA is twice that of the PMMA block in the copolymer. For 30:70 and 20:80 wt.-% copolymer/homopolymer pair, the copolymer forms cylindrical and spherical phases, respectively. Blends have also been prepared by solvent casting. Large domains of copolymer interconnected by few lamellae are observed in the 50:50 blend that reorganize into a bicontinuous network upon annealing.
