The impact of 1-and 2-dimensional (2D) confinement on the structure and dynamics of poly(styrene-b-1,4–isoprene) P(S-b-I) diblock copolymer is investigated by a combination of Grazing–Incidence Small–Angle X–ray Scattering (GISAXS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS). 1D confinement is achieved by spin coating the P(S-b-I) to form nanometric thin films on silicon substrates, while in the 2D confinement, the copolymer is infiltrated into cylindrical anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanopores. GISAXS and AFM reveal hexagonally packed cylinders of PS in a PI matrix.The dynamic glass transition of the styrene and isoprene blocks is independent of the dimensionality and the finite sizes (down to 18 nm) of confinement but the normal mode is influenced by both factors with 2D geometrical constraints exerting greater impact.
