Square arrays of vertically aligned nanoporous cylinders from a linear ABC triblock terpolymer
Journal of Polymer Science(2023)
摘要
Abstract Vertically oriented nanoporous cylinders, demonstrating an unprecedented alignment persistence, were produced within freestanding poly(1,1‐dimethyl silacyclobutane)‐ block ‐polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(2‐vinyl pyridine) (PDMSB‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐P2VP) layers (~15 μm thick) blended with short PS‐ b ‐P2VP chains by combining the non‐solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process with a solvent vapor annealing (SVA) treatment. Here, the NIPS step allowed for the formation of an asymmetric and porous PDMSB‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐P2VP film having a top surface exhibiting poorly‐defined nanopores while the subsequent SVA treatment enabled to produce a symmetric layer that possesses highly‐ordered cylindrical nanodomains arranged into a 27 nm period square array. As the unblended NIPS/SVA‐made PDMSB‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐P2VP monoliths exhibited a mixed orientation of parallel and perpendicular cylinders, a blending strategy was used to achieve tetragonally‐packed PDMSB and P2VP nanodomains having an exceptional vertical alignment persistence. Such solvent‐annealed (3 h, CHCl 3 ) PDMSB‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐P2VP monoliths blended with 20 wt% of PS‐ b ‐P2VP chains showed a water permeance close to the value measured through their parent NIPS‐made terpolymer films having poorly‐ordered nanopores.
