Block copolymer nanotemplates demonstrate a cheap and prospective way for nanodevices requiring regular patterns of closely packed asymmetric nanodomains (nanowires) of various materials on various substrates. Many application based on electrodeposition or PVD of metals and their alloys, electrochemical polymerization and other kinds of loading can be taken into account. Here we deal with essential parameters for the nanotemplate deposition improving ordering and varying periodicity of the nanotemplates. The nanotemplates are based on self-assembly of poly(styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) with low molar mass additive 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA). Various morphologies may be formed, depending on ratio of molecular weights of the blocks, with a characteristic scale of nanodomains of about 10 nm. We show that ordering of patterns may be improved by a combination of slow vapour annealing and low roughness of substrates (ITO glass, Si and mica). Variation of periodicity was studied in respect to stoichiometric ratio of HABA in the assembly.
