Defect Dynamics in Thin Films of Block Copolymers — •Marcus Böhme1, Martin Kreis2, Sabine Scherdel1, Nicolaus Rehse1, and Robert Magerle1 — 1Chemische Physik, TU Chemnitz, D-09107 Chemnitz — 2Physikalische Chemie II, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth
We investigate the dynamic processes in thin films of a cylinder forming polystyrene-block-polybutadiene block copolymer swollen in chloroform vapour. With tapping mode atomic force microscopy we study in situ the dynamics of defect structure during annealing of the liquid film. Our experiments show correlations between the dynamics of neighbouring defects, annealing of defects via formation of transient phases, shape fluctuations of cylinders and lamellae, as well as the dynamics of individual perforations in a hexagonally perforated lamellae.
