Thin films of a pentablock terpolymer with an ABCBA architecture of two types of pH-responsive midblocks and short hydrophobic end blocks are investigated. As-prepared spin-coated films from different pH-values have previously shown highly tunable and non-monotonous behavior of the lateral structure sizes, based on the charge [1]. Here, we investigate further accessible morphologies by swelling the films in the vapors of solvents having different selectivity. Results from spectral reflectance, atomic force microscopy, and grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering suggest that a solvent selective for the pH-responsive blocks leaves the nanostructures intact, while a nonselective solvent enables reorganization. Their vapor mixtures are also studied to potentially access further orientations and morphologies. In addition, an ABA triblock copolymer is investigated as a reference. [1] F. A. Jung, C. M.
