Multilayer polymer thin films for fabrication of ordered multifunctional polymer nanocomposites†
Abstract
Here, we describe a novel and versatile approach for fabrication of multilayer polymeric thin films with a tunable, ordered periodic structure in each layer using self-assembly of block copolymers. Different functional nanomaterials are selectively introduced in different layers with controlled arrays and network formation resulting in ordered multifunctional nanocomposite thin films.
