Self-assembled lamellar nanostructures of wholly aromatic rod-rod-type block molecules.
Wholly aromatic rod-rod type di- and triblock molecules, oligo(ether sulfone)-b-oligo(ether ketone)s (OES-OEK), were synthesized to study a solid-state self-assembled nanostructure. The OES and OEK segments in the block molecules form segregated crystalline domains. The energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the di- and triblock OES-OEK co-oligomers formed lamellar nanostructures with a periodicity of approximately 9 and 13 nm, respectively.
