RESUMO
The utilization of polymer conformations to construct a variety of superlattices is a common method within the field. However, this technique often results in only long-range ordering rather than the formation of distinct superlattices. In this study, a well-organized array of discrete pancake-shaped superlattices (DPSs) is successfully obtained through the utilization of air-liquid interface self-assembly, facilitated by the confined environment created by a block copolymer. It is crucial to note that both the self-assembly behavior and resulting morphologies of the DPSs can be precisely tuned by adjusting several experimental parameters, most notably the concentration and molecular architecture of the block copolymers. Furthermore, this work provides valuable insights into the formation processes and mechanisms underpinning the DPSs. The approach described here is both straightforward and efficacious, establishing a strong foundation for subsequent research and the development of non-close-packed superlattice structures.
