The phase behavior of block copolymers in water and the use of templates to form ordered nanostructures are reviewed in detail. Modern physical techniques for nanoscale characterization are also introduced. The authors suggested that this approach should provide new routes to create materials with interesting morphologies for many different applications.展开更多
