Abstract

Structure and dynamics of two microphase-separated norbornene block copolymers containing one comb-like component are investigated by X-ray scattering, relaxation spectroscopy as well as differential scanning calorimetry. It is shown that two self- assembling processes on different length scales coexist for these copolymers leading to hierarchically structured systems. Microphase separation of both block copolymer ...
