Abstract

Patterned substrates and films are important in a variety of applications from microelectronics, bimemetic material fabrications and smart or switchable surfaces. Here we investigate the morphological structures that can form from a grafted polymer system immersed in a poor solvent. Novel morphological structures such as hexagonally ordered fused micelles, elongated cylindrical micelles and inverted solvent filled micelles are formed.
