Nanostructured block copolymer thin films find a number of applications, especially as templates for anorganic materials, which may be used as optical elements or data storage devices. Thermal treatment has been applied to improve the orientation and the long-range order of the mesostructure.

We have studied thin films of lamellar poly(styrene-b-butadiene) (P(S-b-B)) diblock copolymers to elucidate the mechanisms of structural changes induced by thermal treatment and their kinetics. The lamellae initially have the perpendicular lamellar orientation. In-situ, real-time grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering, as well as ex-situ atomic force microscopy and X-ray reflectometry were used. We found that the processes during thermal annealing strongly depend on the treatment temperature: Below the glass-transition temperature of the PS block, the perpendicular orientation is unchanged, whereas above, a more random lamellar orientation is observed and the film surface is flattened.
