Thickness confinement and solvent induced the change of film boundary condition are shown to be responsible for the formation of morphology. The resulted nanostructured films turn out to be sensitive to the surrounding medium, i.e., their morphologies and surface properties can be reversibly switchable upon exposure to solvent vapor selective for PS (Fig. 1b). Furthermore, by mixing the symmetric BC with homopolymers and block copolymer, the cylindrical domain sizes can be continuously tuned.

The first section summarizes experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental physics of these systems, concentrating upon the forces that govern film morphology. The role of film thickness and surface energetics on the morphology of compositionally symmetric, amorphous diblock copolymer films is emphasized, including considerations of boundary condition symmetry, so-called hybrid structures, and surface chemical expression. Discussions of compositionally asymmetric systems and emerging research areas, e.g., liquid-crystalline and A-B-C triblock systems, are also included. In the second section, technological applications of block copolymer films, e.g., as lithographic masks and photonic materials, are considered. Particular attention is paid to means by which microphase domain order and orientation can be controlled, including exploitation of thickness and surface effects, the application of external fields, and the use of patterned substrates.
