Abstract

The order-disorder transition in thin films of symmetric diblock copolymers of polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate has been investigated by neutron reflectivity. At temperatures above the order-disorder temperature, TMST, a surface induced oscillatory segment density profile with an exponential decay length, χ, is observed. The inverse of decay length 1/≤ TMST a lamellar morphology oriented parallel to the surface propagates through the entire specimen.
