Abstract

A degradable polyphthalaldehyde-polystyrene block copolymer generated by modular ligation is reported for the first time serving as a nanochannel template for the formation of nanostructured materials. The polyphthalaldehyde-b-polystyrene copolymer was spin-coated onto a surface with subsequent polyphthalaldehyde block removal. Block conjugation and block removal were confirmed by H-NMR, SEC, AFM, and SEM.
